In the second part of the series, we continue our interview with Julie Gagoe Tchoko and Merline Touko Tchoko, two sisters from Cameroon, who have been working with Synchronicity Earth as affiliates in our Congo Basin Programme since 2021.
In thefirst part of our discussion with Julie and Merline, we learnt about the personal experiences that drew them into conservation in the Congo Basin, and the complexities of working in this environment.
Here, we take a deeper look at the context of their affiliate work and conservation approaches in the region, exploring the challenges local organisations face, the successes of community-led action, and what funders can do better.
