Community Development Through Eco-Tourism

The Ornithological Training and Eco-Tourism organization (OTEO) is training community members in different domains that include bird watching, counting, and identification as well as plants, mammals, and butterfly identification, giving priority to community members. In so doing, we are better equipping these members from around Mount Cameroon to understand the great potential of their environment and help develop communities through Eco-Tourism while ensuring the survival of our rich biodiversity.

Our elaborate programs include training, field trips, sensitization in community bases, cluster meetings, and refresher training for old members. In the long run, OTEO will also provide field equipment to trainees so as to sharpen their skills in their respective domains.

To inspire interest and action in youths or other community members we schedule meetings with various community leaders and sensitize them on our objectives, rules, and regulations. Selection of interested members will then ensue, who will then be trained on guiding or potting and sensitized on the modalities surrounding each responsibility.
