Our actions
We have five main programs:

- Sensitization of the community to eliminate the illegal bushmeat trade,
- Facilitate research on biodiversity,
- Improving the sustainability of fisheries
- Promote ecotourism as a means of generating income through the sustainable use of resources.
We manage an ecotourism site on Lake Oguemoué called Tsam Tsam.
