The Program for the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the South West Region (PSMNR-SWR) is a development Program of the Republic of Cameroon, Co-financed by the Federal Republic of Germany through KFW. The PSMNR-SWR is implemented in Protected Areas by MINFOF in collaboration with WWF and the local communities to protect the integrity of the Protected Areas. In the process of conserving biodiversity, enhancing the livelihood capabilities of the communities that live in and around the Banyang-Mbo Wildlife Sanctuary is of utmost importance as livelihood activities are implemented to reduce poaching, illegal wood exploitation, unsustainable harvesting of NTFPs and encroachment into the Sanctuary
