Environmental protection and Conservation

Our environment and natural resources are in jeopardy due to the way adult generations are handling them. Our natural environment alongside it resources is under stress due to poor agricultural practices like intense bush burning, overgrazing, over exploitation of non-timber forest products , excessive deforestation, illegal and unsustainable hunting of wildlife resources. These activities jeopardize the future of young people and their right to have access to and enjoy use of a healthy environment and the resources it contains. If this situation is allowed to continue, then, children’s respect for and understanding of the values, skills and knowledge about use of these natural resources are in danger of being lost. The end results of all these are; climate changes, very low yields and loss of many endangered species. CENCUDER, a restoration NGO, have been doing a lot to reverse the above adverse effects by installing solar energy in rural communities, training communities including children in tree nursery and planting as well as building environmental friendly latrines and supplying portable water to schools and communities within the South West of Cameroon. Over 10 communities have been impacted through these innovative approaches

Sustainable agriculture.

Sustainable agriculture.

Agriculture is the bedrock of Cameroon’s economy with over 71% of the population relying on subsistence agriculture. However, sustainable agriculture has remained a big challenge to many peasant farmers who has been crying for even a onetime assistance as they lack the knowledge and tools needed to adopt environmentally sound and sustainable agricultural practices. Consequently, the problems associated with unsustainable farming practices such as slash and burn, shifting cultivation, wild bush fires and it consequences on the environment are obvious. 2020 has being a very difficult year worldwide, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the world over and South West Region of Cameroon, was marred by hunger, poverty and uncertainty. The pandemic came to aggravate the deteriorated condition of many displaced farmers, children and families as a result of the Anglophone crisis that began since in 2016. Worried by the disturbing situation, CENCUDER and her partners engaged over 360 internally displaced farmers with sustainable solutions to food security crisis.
