The Organization for the conservation of wildlife in Africa (OCFSA) developed a plea for the
conservation of wildlife. The document was presented to Member States and technical and
financial partners during a meeting held Wednesday, June 3, 2015 at the zoo Mvog Betsi in
Yaounde.
OCFSA developed a revitalization strategy based on an intelligence system to fight against
poaching and adopted a networking approach with Interpol and other structures that support it in
this fight. To do this, a OCFSA conference will be held from 15 to 17 June 2015 at the Congress
Palace in Yaounde.
Poaching represents a plague in Central Africa, and would be the main cause of extinction for
wildlife species such as black rhino West Africa (Diceros longipes longipes). According to the
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), poaching inside the country and at
borders has increased the number of elephants in Africa ten million hundred years ago to
700,000 today.
