Pro-Campo

Pro‑Campo is a transboundary marine conservation initiative that strengthens two Marine Protected Areas in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. The project improves governance, surveillance, ecosystem restoration, and community resilience while promoting a sustainable blue economy. It supports income‑generating activities, builds essential infrastructure, and empowers local communities, including women and youth. Pro‑Campo fosters operational transboundary cooperation between the Manyange na Elombo‑Campo Marine Park and the Rio Campo National Park. The project is led by AMCO with partners WWF, TUBE AWU, and ANDEGE, and funded by the European Union.
