AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoWildlife Crime Watch: Researchers in Chad say demand for vultures in Nigeria and Benin—fuelled by belief-based use of parts for “luck” and protection—is driving cross-border poaching that is now hitting central African populations, with field surveys near N’Djamena finding hooded vultures largely absent around slaughterhouses and landfill sites. Ocean Governance: At the Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, 14–15 countries adopted the Mombasa Declaration, including Cameroon, pushing fisheries transparency and stronger action against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing through better vessel data sharing. Climate Risk & Food Security: FAO and WFP launched a US$202m Joint Anticipatory Action Appeal to protect about 8.8 million people in 22 high-risk countries from El Niño-linked droughts, floods and storms, with Cameroon listed among the affected. Energy & Pollution Control: Cameroon’s Socadel plans a major crackdown on electricity fraud after government figures put annual losses at about CFA60 billion, with thousands of cases found in Yaoundé and Douala—an enforcement push that can also reduce environmental harm from illegal connections. Infrastructure for Greener Growth: Cameroon signed an MoU with a UK firm (PROPAV Infrastructure) for the Bekoko–Limbe–Idenau road project, with technical, financial and environmental assessments set before work begins.
