CWAF operates two sites in Cameroon in co-operation with the Cameroon Ministry of Environment and Protection of the Nature: the Mefou National Park and the Mvog-betsi zoo. CWAF offers a limited number of self-funded volunteer posts to enthusiastic people aged over 21 with an interest in primate conservation and Africa.
