In Douala, plastic waste has become a crisis due to population growth and increased production. To address this, E2F will launch a project to collect and recycle plastic bottles, with the goal of creating a sustainable waste management system.
The E2F works to reduce abandoned fishing gear along Cameroon’s Atlantic coast with the ‘Cameroon-ALDFG Reduction Initiative.’ The presence of ALDFG threatens marine ecosystems, wildlife, and coastal communities. The initiative will develop sustainable solutions and engage stakeholders to reduce the impact of ALDFG.
The Lake Ossa wetland complex is the biggest natural lake in Cameroon, spanning 4,000 hectares with various wildlife species, including the vulnerable African manatees. However, the lake faces challenges, especially invasive Salvinia plants. “Community-based Ecological Mangroves Restoration for Climate Adaptation and Resilience along Cameroon’s Coastline” is a project that tackles the invasive aquatic plants and promotes ecological restoration at Lake Ossa.
Lake Ossa in Cameroon is home to diverse flora and fauna, including vulnerable African manatees and invasive aquatic plants that threaten the lake’s ecology. To address this issue and protect the lake’s ecological integrity, the “Climate Emergency: Protecting Lake Ossa from Invasive Aquatic Plants” project will tackle the proliferation of these plants.
