The WPE Wildlife Sanctuary is still a vision.

Countless animals suffer in human captivity.

The existing orphanages have no more space. Therefore, the institution of farther sanctuaries is urgently necessary. In Cameroon there are nowadays only four such rallying stations.

It is very unfortunate and totally unacceptable that to this day wildlife animals can be ordered and will be delivered and even exported by criminal elements.

The species protection agreement will be bypassed and smugglers always find new ways to deliver the poor animals to their destination.

In the case of a little monkey the mother is killed in order to be able to collect the priced possession of the infant. In the case of birds the nest is robbed and the young ones taken away.

Killed animals are usually sold on the local markets as smoking meat. In addition, they are a in demand and very expensive export article. Many animals are, among other reasons, already threatened with extinction. Unfortunately, there are many other reasons for animals in need such as, especially in the African- and Asian region, for example, the crushed horn of rhinoceros, tiger penis and gorilla and chimpanzee bones as Aphrodiasikum, remains highly popular. Many other reasons will fill a long sad list.

In just about every single case the wild animal will be kept in totally unsuitable conditions, with a wrong kind of diet, and are used as nothing else but an exotic toy by often cruel and spoiled kids and adults. Due to less than expected interaction any keen interest soon gives way to a wrong kind of discipline resulting in violence. Too small enclosures, wrong food, heavy chains often remind more of a prisoner than a lovely pet animal.

WPE offers an alternative to live with teir congeners and with the aim for eventual release them back into the wild and nature habitat.

Other reasons for animals in need are conflicts with farmers, high voltage wires and traffic accidents.

The largest problem is the "legal" destruction of environment, cartried out by, mostly western companys, the consumption of Bushmeat, the trading with animals and the associated poaching.

In Cameroon humans are already active over years to give animals an worth living alternative and contribute thereby the protection of species. WPE will support these humans and will work together with the institutions already existing. Unfortunately, only restricted possibilities are available for a too small number of animals. The extension of existing facilities and the installation of further rallying stations is urgently necessary.

For the affected animals parenthoods, sponsorships are brought to life.

In addition, the sanctuary for wild animals serves as a tourist attraction and assists to set up the tourism and to promote the acceptance of the population to the contact with animals.
