The current humanitarian crisis in Cameroon is also known as the Anglophone crisis, and began in 2016 however the devastating effects to communities and the people within them are still being seen today.

The Anglophone community feel marginalised by the government and similar powers that be and due to a continued lack of support, militia from both sides began fighting for their causes, leaving many caught in the crossfire.

Communities are living in peril and states of fear, and need help now more than ever to come to a peaceful solution for all through rational peaces talks and a cease to the fighting.

Many communities (approximately 35000 Internally Displaced People (IDP's)) have had to flee their homes, villages and towns and seek refuge in the forest that surrounds them. Militia have also occupied these areas, many of which are biodiversity hotspots.

This has had the impact of forcing out local wildlife, and causing local state rangers who protect the wildlife to relocate to safer/alternative areas.

As well as this, programmes aimed at promoting ecotourism in the areas have been halted or slowed down as the crisis puts strain on visitors wanting to visit these incredible biodiversity hotspots, who ultimately must choose to remain safe elsewhere.

While it is now deemed "safe" for state rangers to be reinstated in these areas, there is still more that must be done for all individuals to thrive within their communities and restore them to their former glory.
