I visited the Dja Biosphere Reserve for my research with Fulbright and then traveled to Mbam et Djerem Park to work on a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant to protect the chimpanzee population.
Bonjour! Hello! My name is Ian, and I'm in Cameroon for nine months as I study mammal communities in cocoa farms. Let's explore Yaoundé, the Dja Reserve and Mbam et Djerem Park together!

I hope everyone has a better understanding of life in Cameroon and the wildlife of the country after this fun exchange. Cameroon has much to offer the world and hopefully you can visit one day!
I spoke to Marcel who is a student at one of the Bilingual schools in Yaoundé. He is in elementary school and I met him when he was selling peanuts after school.
Cameroon is a biodiversity hotspot for primate species, in particular. This Album contains videos of forest activity from the Dja Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site.
