Elvis Ngolle Ngolle

[1] He has been a resource person for the ruling Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (RDPC) since the early 1990s.

Although a law designed to protect endangered species from poaching was passed in 1994, it was not enforced until around 2004, and even afterward trade in illegal bushmeat remained quite widespread.

And it's more or less putting a shame on our dignity and our commitment to fight illegal poaching."

At the same time, he discussed the introduction of a new government program to regulate the trade by allowing the sale of bushmeat only at specially designated places.

Related government initiatives conducted by Ngolle Ngolle's ministry involved the recruitment of forest guards and providing bushmeat traders with work in the agricultural sector.
