Driver(s) – Noé Association – SALAPOUMBE, Cameroon

Based in SALAPOUMBE, Cameroon
(one (01) year fixed-term contract under Cameroonian law)

1) Context
Noé is a non-profit, general interest nature protection association, created
in 2001. It deploys biodiversity conservation actions in France and internationally

for the benefit of all living species, including the human species. To this end, Noé implements
programs for the conservation of endangered species, the management of
protected natural areas, the restoration of ordinary biodiversity and natural environments, the reconnection of
Humans with Nature and support for economic activities and
civil society organizations that promote biodiversity.
Internationally, Noé takes a “Landscape” approach in and around
protected areas, constituting a framework for action favorable to the protection and enhancement of the
biodiversity of these territories and to strengthening their resilience in the face of
climate change. Noé’s objective is to preserve biodiversity cores within large
landscapes and to develop tools for managing and enhancing biodiversity (sectors,
community governance, etc.).
Noé is currently present in 6 Sub-Saharan African countries, in
very different ecosystems (from dense humid forests to Sudanese savannahs, including
lagoon and marine ecosystems).
Noé has been working in Cameroon since 2012 and supports the development of sectors around
different protected areas, in partnership with Cameroonian NGOs. Noé also works within and on the periphery of protected areas under private management, in order to strengthen
ecological monitoring and surveillance systems, and to improve mechanisms for the redistribution
and valorization of wildlife and natural resources in favor of biodiversity and
local communities.

Noé is responsible for implementing, with the partner Nature+, the project “NaturaSud-Est –
Conservation in Forest Management Units (UFA), hunting interest zones
(ZIC), and Community-Managed Cygenetic Interest Zones
(ZICGC) on the periphery of Lobéké National Park”. This project, component 1 of the
“Natura Sud-Est Territoires Durables” program financed by the European Union (EU), aims

to strengthen the inclusive conservation of landscape biodiversity by
territorial representatives. In this context, Noé is looking for two (02) drivers who would be based in
SALAPOUMBE, East Cameroon
