Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home, the Earth? Working with WWF could be the opportunity of a lifetime:
All around the world, people are waking up to the deepening crisis of nature loss. A growing realization that nature is our life-support system. And that nobody will be spared from the impacts of its loss. Here at WWF, we are helping to tackle this enormous global challenge.
Our people come from hugely diverse backgrounds and with a variety of expertise, ranging from HR and finance to advocacy and conservation science. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us create a better future for people and nature.
What we do:
We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and communities to business and government, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainable. WWF Network has moved to the development and the implementation of 9 Practices with Global Goals to be achieved.
For WWF Congo Basin, we are looking for a dynamic and committed TRIDOM Landscape Manager.
Duration: Two (02) years renewable depending on funding
The mission of the department
The Tri-National Dja-Odzala-Minkebe (TRIDOM) Landscape covers nearly 10% of the Congo Basin rainforests in Cameroon, Gabon, and Congo-Brazzaville. This Landscape is one of the priority Landscapes for WWF because it holds the largest elephant population in the Congo Basin and harbors most of the biodiversity typically found in central Africa's rainforests, including western gorillas and central chimpanzees. TRIDOM has 250,000 inhabitants (typically 1 inh/km² average density) including an estimated 10,000 Baka indigenous people. With a forest cover of 97% and a very low deforestation rate it is one of the most intact forest blocks in the Congo Basin. However, the growing road network, logging, artisanal mining, cocoa expansion, ivory poaching and plans for large scale mining and agroindustry pose immense challenges. WWF Network comes together to support this priority Landscape Initiative.
