LWC Annual Report 2016

Foreword

Dear friends, dear supporters,

Here comes the time to assess the results of the year, which was my first as Manager. We are very proud of what we have achieved so long, even though we always want to achieve more. 2016 was very satisfying, noticeably thanks to the strengthening of the relationship between the Pandrillus Foundation Cameroon and the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF) both at the level of the Ministry, in Yaoundé, and within the LWC Management Unit. On one hand, we were able to better coordinate confiscation/rescue operations. On the other hand, the LWC Pandrillus-MINFOF shared office has served to discuss and approve actions plans and to enhance the coordination of all field operations. Communication flowing from the top to the bottom, and conversely, we have been able to conduct very challenging activities, with the great results that I am happy to show to you.

In particular, I would like to underline the great job done introducing three adult female gorillas to two adult males previously solitary. It has solved various behavioural and social issues, and helped facilitate the management of the gorilla population and increase their well-being. The 4 groups are now stable and cohesive. Similarly, the transfer of two adult chimpanzees from the Island to the Mainland group was stressful, and probably more for the staff than for the animals, but it went better than we even expected! Although we planned to integrate another individual from quarantine to the Island group, we decided to postpone it to 2017.

A lot of animal facilities were constructed, renovated or developed to enhance population management 4 and well-being. It is a fact and a considerable burden that existing infrastructures and structural enrichments deteriorates rapidly due to the harsh climate and proximity to the sea. Every day we look for new creative ways to improve animal environment. As an example, we tried out the implementation of fallow lands to enable the development of grassed strips in the Mandrill enclosure to increased availability of grassy food. We will assess the success of this promising new method in the beginning of 2017. Other enrichments were provided to the animals following a strict schedule, while an effort was made, especially thanks to our long term volunteers, to build capacities of the staff as regards rehabilitation and animal cares, observation and behavioural data collection. This scientific rigour will allow us to objectively assess our successes and failures and therefore to mutualise experiences and standardize protocols. A lot of progresses were made already and I thank the staff for their daily effort to enhance their skills. That is what makes our good reputation and pride.

Children education, public sensitization and community involvement were also a great success this year, as it has been for many years. Our Conservation Education team is indisputably a reference for the quality of its teaching skills and the LWC remains a very powerful pedagogic tool. It is undoubtedly the showcase of animal well-being and wildlife conservation in Cameroon and probably in the whole Central African region. Each year, more Cameroonians (re)discover their ecological heritage thanks the LWC, which is a key to positive changes of attitude. The new Exhibition Hall, currently in renovation and redevelopment, will also play its role to highlight first the beauty and fragility of wildlife, and second the commitment and entire devotion to the animals of the people working at LWC. In addition, encouraging and supporting a green economy in the local community of Batoke, at the periphery of the Mount Cameroun national Park, has contributed to reduce pressure on wildlife and alleviate poverty.

LWC Annual Report 2016

This year again, we rescued many animals of various protected species: African rock python, African grey parrot, Crowned monkey, Drill, Dwarf crocodile, Home's hinge-back tortoise, Putty-nosed monkey, Red-capped mangabey, White-bellied pangolin… and Jackie, a 17-years old female chimpanzee! The special rehabilitation procedures we implemented to stimulate her to behave more naturally and to discourage stereotypical behaviours or begging attitude have been successful. In 2017, she will be transferred to a friend project (Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center, In Defense of Animals Africa) where social and environmental rehabilitation will be performed.

In 2016, few animals unfortunately died, and among them Nyango, our first gorilla and only Cross river that we cared for for more than 20 years. Despite all dedicated efforts, days and nights, of our vet team, we are inevitably forced to suffer the grief of losing animals. Nyango, Devil woman, Jabea, Jake, Joanna, Skipper will not be forgotten. As it never rains but it pours, we mourned for the loss of Simone De Vries, who worked for 3 years at the LWC (2008-2010) and as Project Manager in 2010, and of Liesbeth van der Burgt, one of our major and most committed supporters. Our thoughts go to their families and friends. We thank the new board members for taking care of Liesbeth’s legacy, the Stichting Weesaapjes, the foundation she built to collect and raise funds for the LWC, with which many donors in the Nederland subsequently engaged.

2016 was meant at consolidating and standardizing our existing activities and operations, 2017 will be meant at professionalizing and boosting them. We are sure that it will be technically and financially challenging, but I guess it is our staple diet, which make us more efficient and determined each year!

Before we can look towards the future, this annual report will provide the broad lines of our main 5 achievements as a summary of the 12 previous monthly reports. This technical part will be followed by a detailed financial report. At the end, you will find a list of referenced low resolution pictures. Please feel free to request any picture you wish in high resolution.

Thank you for your ongoing support to the Limbe Wildlife Centre

With all good wishes,

Limbe, 26 January 2017
