The Mists of Mwanenguba

The African continent still contains numerous unexplored regions. Recently, one of these lost worlds was discovered in Cameroon by a British researcher from the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens. Follow the steps of the botanist, Martin Cheek, and primatologist Bethan Morgan, as we explore the enchanting region that surrounds Mount Mwanenguba (a volcano that has stood dormant for millennia) - something straight out of an Arthur Conan Doyle novel. There, we discover a dense tropical forest, miraculously preserved and full of endemic plant speciesWe also encounter the Bakossis, a native tribe which believes that each tree of the forest harbors the spirit of one of its ancestors, and which fights tirelessly to preserve its region from the increasingly evident threat of deforestation.

Their discoveries attracted the attention of other international organizations, including CRES, an organization dedicated to the preservation of endangered animal species. CRES members discovered that this region constituted one of the rare sanctuaries where large, silver-faced monkeys called Drills, cousins of the Mandrill, still live.
