Banyang-Mbo Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife refuge in Southwest, Cameroon.

The Banyang-Mbo Wildlife Sanctuary extends across 64,220 hectares of land between the Kupe Manenguba and Manyu divisions of Southwest Cameroon.

The sanctuary was established through a Prime Ministerial Decree in 1996 to protect the diverse flora and fauna native to this region of Central Africa.

Local Mbo and Banyangi communities maintain traditional practices while adapting to conservation regulations that govern the sanctuary's natural resources.

Visitors can observe 322 bird species, 71 reptile species, and numerous primates through designated observation points within the sanctuary's boundaries.

The sanctuary hosts the largest regional population of Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees, with estimates ranging from 500 to 1000 individuals within its borders.
