The Lekedi Biodiversity Foundation<\/a> and its Park<\/a> work with various environmental protection organizations to carry out awareness campaigns on biodiversity and combat poaching.<\/p>\n

New partnerships are being developed to enrich the scope of knowledge and work of the Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our national partners in Gabon<\/h2>\n

The Ministry of Water and Forests<\/strong>, responsible for human-wildlife conflict, regionally represented by the Provincial Directorate of Water and Forests of Haut-Ogoou\u00e9, with the aim of conducting awareness and anti-poaching actions.<\/p>\n

The National Agency for National Parks<\/strong>: in 2018, it allowed the release of three gorillas in partnership with The Aspinall Foundation.<\/p>\n

The Bakoumba Water and Forest Station<\/strong>, with whom we work closely for park monitoring missions as well as raising awareness among neighboring populations.<\/p>\n

The Interdisciplinary Center for Medical Research of Franceville (CIRMF)<\/strong>: Its state-of-the-art equipment, quarantine facilities, and biomedical analysis laboratory enable the monitoring of the health of primates housed at the sanctuary. Its researchers also benefit from the Foundation’s facilities to conduct field studies.<\/p>\n

The University of Sciences and Techniques of Masuku (USTM) in Franceville<\/strong>: Interns are hosted within the Park during their training. The Park also relies on the expertise of university scientists, particularly botanists.<\/p>\n

The National School of Water and Forests of Gabon<\/strong>, with which the Foundation has signed an agreement for hosting interns and sharing expertise.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our international partners<\/h2>\n

The Aspinall Foundation<\/strong>, with whom the sanctuary collaborates to release primates in the Bat\u00e9k\u00e9 Plateau National Park, particularly gorillas; but also on other international programs for the restoration of Gabonese wildlife, such as the wild dog reintroduction program.<\/p>\n

The NGO Conservation Justice<\/strong> provides legal support during the seizure of illegally held animals. This action is complemented by awareness programs, particularly in schools.<\/p>\n

The CNRS and MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE<\/strong> have been monitoring a group of mandrills accustomed to human presence within the Lekedi Park for many years, studying topics as varied as mandrill sociology, parasitism, virus transmission, and the use of colors in male-female relationships.<\/p>\n

Pan-African Alliance<\/strong>: The park is recognized for its expertise in primate rehabilitation and has joined the Pan-African Sanctuary Alliance. This is both recognition and a wonderful platform for exchanging best practices.<\/p>\n

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)<\/strong>: The organization supports the Foundation in the development and deployment of the environmental education program Green Gabon Generation by Lekedi. A team of six people is mobilized, including one full-time project manager.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":1656,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1676","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nPartners -
