Pandrillus, established in 1988 by Liza Gadsby and Peter Jenkins, is dedicated to conserving drills and other wildlife in Nigeria and Cameroon. Initially focused on preventing the extinction of the endangered drill monkey Mandrillus leucophaeus, the mission has expanded to include chimpanzees and other species in the Cross-Sanaga region. Pandrillus employs a multifaceted approach involving habitat protection, captive care, breeding, research, training, education, and advocacy, collaborating with governments, communities, NGOs, and the private sector. Registered as a non-profit in both Nigeria and the USA, Pandrillus continues to champion wildlife conservation.

Cameroon is a country located in central Africa, known for its diverse natural environment that includes dense rainforests, savannas, and mountain ranges. The country's natural environment is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including several endemic species.

The rainforests of Cameroon, such as the Congo Basin, are home to several species of primates, including gorillas, chimpanzees, and mandrills, as well as several species of birds such as the African grey parrot. The rainforests also provide habitat for a variety of plant species, including several rare and endemic species.

The savannas of Cameroon, such as the Benue Trough and the Adamawa Plateau, are home to several species of animals, including lions, cheetahs, and elephants, as well as several species of birds such as the ostrich and the secretary bird. The savannas also provide grazing grounds for several species of domesticated animals, such as cattle and goats.

The mountain ranges of Cameroon, such as the Cameroon Volcanic Line, are home to several species of animals, including baboons, colobus monkeys, and several species of birds such as the African grey parrot. The mountains also provide habitat for a variety of plant species, including several rare and endemic species.

Cameroon has several protected areas, such as the Korup National Park and the Waza National Park, which protect the country's unique biodiversity and provide opportunities for eco-tourism activities such as hiking, camping, and wildlife watching.

Despite its rich natural environment, Cameroon faces several environmental challenges, including deforestation, pollution, and habitat loss due to human activities such as mining and agriculture.

located in West Africa and is known for its diverse landscapes, including tropical rainforests, savannas, and wetlands. The country's natural beauty is reflected in its rich biodiversity, which provides habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species.

Nigeria is home to over 900 bird species, a diverse population of mammals, and its rivers and lakes support over 250 fish species.

However, like many other African countries, Nigeria's environment is threatened by various factors, such as deforestation, soil erosion, and pollution. The country has faced challenges such as land degradation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.

To address these challenges, Nigeria has implemented policies and programs to protect its environment and biodiversity. The country has established several protected areas, such as the Cross River National Park and the Yankari Game Reserve, to conserve critical ecosystems and provide habitat for endangered species.

Preuss's Red Colobus is a monkey species found in Cameroon and Nigeria that is facing extinction. The estimated remaining population of Preuss's Red Colobus is less than 4,000 individuals. The main threats to their survival include habitat loss due to deforestation, hunting for bushmeat, and the illegal pet trade. Logging activities, expansion of agricultural land, and infrastructure development pose significant risks to their populations. Conservation efforts focus on protected area management, community-based conservation initiatives, and law enforcement to combat illegal hunting and trade.

The Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate species that is endemic to the forests of Central Africa, including Gabon. It is the largest and most colorful monkey species. While not exclusive to Gabon, the country hosts a significant population. Total numbers of mandrills are unknown, but it is suspected that the species has declined significantly in recent years due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their habitats, combatting illegal hunting, and promoting sustainable land-use practices.

The Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes ellioti) is an endangered subspecies of chimpanzees found in the forests of Nigeria and Cameroon. The estimated remaining population is uncertain but believed to be fewer than 6,000 individuals. The primary threats to the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee include habitat loss, illegal hunting, and the bushmeat trade. Logging, mining, and agricultural activities further fragment their habitats. Conservation efforts involve protected area management, community involvement, and law enforcement to protect their populations and habitats.
