The Tayna Center for Conservation Biology is training the next generation of conservationists in the Congo and is the nation’s only community-run conservation university.

FFI has been working with local stakeholders in Cameroon – especially with the local organisation Centre International d’ Appui au Developpement Durable (CIAD) from 2003 to 2007 and with the African Conservation and Development Foundation (ACDEF) Cameroon from 2008 to date – to protect the Western lowland gorillas in and around the Dja reserve, a Man and Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site.
Initially the project focused on developing a possible gorilla-based ecotourism to improve the rural livelihood and to raise environmental awareness in local communities, especially amongst the marginalised Baka pygmies.
The project is now working to establish an early warning system against poaching supported by the recent advances in information technology.
