African Grey Billboards for Limbe Wildlife Centre
Donation protected
Limbe Wildlife Centre in Africa needs our help!
Cameroon’s wildlife is under great threat due to poaching, hunting and the illegal wildlife trade.
To instigate a change of behaviour, develop a sense of ownership and engage the community to protect wildlife, it is critical that local Cameroon communities are aware of the value of biodiversity, ecosystems and its wildlife.
Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, LWC must continue its sensitization and education efforts. Even though life as normal may have stopped, poaching and the illegal trade in Cameroon certainly have not.
That is the reason why Toh Bright, anglophone local artist, chose the Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC) to begin this journey and remind us all about the importance to keep healthy ecosystems.
Meet Toh Bright:
Artist Toh Bright has illustrated 4 major programmes to run at the Limbe Wildlife Centre: the endangered African grey parrot rehabilitation and release; community-based conservation; conservation education and the rehabilitation of endangered primate’s species of the South-West Region of Cameroon.
The 4 billboards will be displayed in the community to emphasize the actions taken by the Limbe Wildlife Centre to protect Cameroon’s unique wildlife.
To fully realize this project and help Limbe Wildlife Centre change the minds of hunters, poachers and traffickers, LWC needs our support.
Due to the pandemic, LWC has lost much of its funding due to no longer being able to take in volunteers. Visitors and many individuals are no longer able to help it. Because of this, LWC has lost the revenue planned for this project.
The cleaning and maintenance of the current stands in preparation for the new art to be installed costs a total of $1000 USD. The Parrot Resource Centre (PRC) has donated this amount so that the billboard creation can begin.
Furthermore, each billboard costs $500 (for a total of $2000 USD). The billboards are double-sided, so they can be viewed from either direction. They will remain in place for up to 10 years, weather permitting.
LWC has received $500 for one billboard. PRC is fundraising for the remaining $1500 USD, along with director Cheryl Rutherford, who is sewing special, limited edition face masks, with all funds being donated to the LWC Billboard Project.
