Mt. Cameroon Is New Park
Cameroon has named tall Mt. Cameroon a national park, preserving some of the Congo Basin's rarest ecosystems. [@fieldtripearth]
"Creation of the new Mt Cameroon National Park is the result of intense efforts and collaboration since 2007 between MINFOF [Cameroon's Ministry of Forestry and Fauna] and WWF [World Wildlife Fund], with the financial support of the German Cooperation (KfW). WWF-Sweden, the North Carolina Zoological Park and the North Carolina Zoological Society also provided specific support to track and monitor activities of three forest elephants through satellite tracking collars."
The NC Zoo's Dr. Mike Loomis is just down from important African elephant research on Mt. Cameroon.
