Bouba Ndjidda National Park Welcomes Arrival of New Conservator

Bouba Ndjidda National Park, a treasure trove of biodiversity in the Mayo-Rey department of northern Cameroon, has entered a new phase with the appointment of a new conservator. Gilbert Oum Ndjock officially assumed his role on Thursday during a ceremony held at the Koum base camp, situated more than 200 kilometers from Garoua.

A Leadership Transition

Ndjock succeeds Patrick Serge Tadjo Folack, who has taken on new responsibilities at Faro National Park after more than five years of dedicated service. Folack actively worked to protect and secure the park, and his leadership played a key role in developing its conservation strategies.

Senior Divisional Officer Amadou Zarma oversaw the transition, with magistrates and project leaders from cross-border conservation initiatives supported by GIZ and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in attendance, as part of the BSB Yamoussa programme. During the event, local authorities praised Folack’s work and highlighted the significant strides made under his leadership.

Ongoing Challenges and Goals

In his address, Prefect Zarma encouraged Ndjock to continue the momentum set by his predecessor, particularly in combatting poaching and enhancing cooperation with technical partners. The need for sustained efforts to protect the park’s fragile ecosystem is especially urgent as Bouba Ndjidda remains a vital part of Cameroon’s environmental landscape.

The change in leadership comes at a time when the sustainable management of national parks has never been more critical, with environmental concerns growing both locally and internationally.

A Critical Role in Conservation

Bouba Ndjidda, home to diverse wildlife and ecosystems, faces numerous challenges, including illegal hunting and habitat degradation. The new conservator’s role is pivotal in addressing these issues while ensuring that the park remains a haven for wildlife.

As conservation becomes a more prominent issue globally, the leadership at Bouba Ndjidda is increasingly recognized for its significance in maintaining Cameroon’s rich natural heritage.
