Cameroon, 2018
Greetings from Cameroon,
My name is Apene Derek, and I am Cameroonian Master’s student studying climate change and biodiversity at university.
My interest in Sandwatch is to see how it can be used to combat climate change in coastal areas of Cameroon and equally to use this approach as a tool to foster my doctorate degree after my masters’ graduation. Our Sandwatch Team is made up of university students studying various environmental disciplines. Sandwatch will be a great privilege for my team and I to start this activity in Cameroon which will be of great importance to our communities around our national territory and we look forward to working with partners like UNESCO and other international organizations and we hope that it will eventually lead to training and sponsorship options.
We plan on beginning Sandwatch in July after University ends for the summer and will be providing lots of information and photographs of our beaches and communities so as to make this project a success for our nation so as to save our beaches from climate change effects which is already affecting our beaches ecosystems at an alarming rate.
