Raising money for Cross river Gorilla project

Join CRGP for a month of fitness & fundraising in aid of the Ranger Appeal. By participating in the Gorilla Trail, our teams are covering distances relative to significant routes in Cameroon and supporting rangers who protect such precious wildlife.

Story

The Lebialem Highlands in Cameroon is under threat. It is a global biodiversity hotspot, forming part of the Congo Basin, the second largest rainforest on Earth. Rangers are vital at this time of humanitarian and climate crisis, to protect gorillas and the incredible flora and fauna of their rainforest habitat.

CRGPs core values are The 3 Cs: Conservation, Community, Cameroon. They are working with partners at ERuDeF, a Cameroon NGO, to safely reinstate rangers to protect and monitor the rarest of the great apes, the Cross River gorillas. It is essential to support rangers not only to support rainforest conservation and fight species extinction, but also to help provide alternative sustainable livelihoods for rainforest communities.

The Ranger Appeal will support the families of rangers by supporting childrens education and help CRGP raise funds to go towards costs like biomonitoring equipment.
