Papaye International

Papaye International is an association that fights for the conservation of chimpanzees. It is in the heart of the Douala/Edéa Natural Park in Cameroon that you can meet this pretty family of chimpanzees. The actions of Papaye International are centered around three facets:

• Rescue, protection and preservation against poaching more than widespread in the country.
• Rehabilitation in a protected environment of injured, abandoned and sometimes even abused orphans.
• Role of sensitizing local populations to the cause.

Once the little monkeys have been saved, head to the sanctuary for their rehabilitation in the wild. The association then offers you to sponsor the little orphan. The financial assistance that you provide to this new member of the family will ensure its protection and preservation. Papaye International, for its part, undertakes to share your son's adventures with you by email.

Project 2026: Guardians of Biodiversity

The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the long-term protection of Douala-Edéa Park, a protected area renowned for the richness and diversity of its wildlife. Thanks to its varied habitats (tropical forest, mangroves, rivers, lagoons and marine areas), it is home to exceptional biodiversity, comprising terrestrial, aquatic and marine species. By improving the operational mobility of conservation teams, facilitating access to remote areas and reducing response times, the project aims to increase the overall effectiveness of the monitoring system and ensure better conservation of the park’s natural resources. To this end, the association is purchasing six all-terrain motorbikes, along with related equipment.
