The Cameroon Ark project will act in the first instance as a project within Kingdom Impact Today.

 

The charitable purpose of Cameroon Ark will be to provide the means to initially complete and launch a Forest Centre and Sustainable Butterfly Farm and provide an income for several extended families within Obout Village, Central Cameroon.

 

They are building a facility to attract both visitors and researchers to Cameroon while also selling locally produced butterfly and moth pupae and sustainably produced high quality, scientifically valuable papered insect specimens to: 

​

1. highlight the beauty and biodiversity of this region of the Congo Basin Rain forest;

2. act in a stewardship capacity to preserve, conserve and maintain for future generations the biodiversity, acting as a biological reservoir for existing and currently unidentified species as well as a source of natural medicines and chemicals;

3. educate local children and students regarding the environment in which they live and the biology that surrounds them; 

4. train a next generation of guides and forest stewards.

 

The monies raised by and through the project will enable a  minimum of 20 people to have a sustainable income. These people are currently unemployed.
