The project "Strengthening Governance and Ecosystem Connectivity for Biodiversity Conservation and Improved Livelihoods in the Dja Landscape" focuses on enhancing governance frameworks and maintaining ecological corridors within the Dja River landscape, a vital transboundary area in Central Africa. Its goal is to conserve biodiversity, strengthen ecosystem connectivity, and promote sustainable livelihoods for local communities.

The project aims to implement integrated landscape management approaches across Cameroon’s forest landscapes within the Congo Basin. Its focus is on balancing conservation, sustainable resource use, and socio-economic development by enhancing landscape governance, promoting sustainable land use, and strengthening the resilience of ecosystems and local communities.

Cameroon’s exceptional ecological diversity has earned it the title “Africa in miniature”, reflecting the wide range of environments found within its borders—from Atlantic coastal lowlands and dense tropical rainforests to savannas and mountainous regions. As a core country within the Congo Basin rainforest biome, Cameroon plays a central role in regional biodiversity conservation and landscape connectivity.
