1) Context:
Noé is a non-profit, public-interest nature conservation association
founded in 2001. It implements biodiversity conservation actions in France and internationally
for the benefit of all living species, including humankind. To this end, Noé implements programs for the conservation of endangered species, the
management of protected natural areas, the restoration of common biodiversity and natural habitats, the reconnection of humans with nature, and support for
economic activities and civil society organizations that promote biodiversity.
Within its international activities, Noé is organized into three complementary missions:
endangered species, protected areas, and pro-biodiversity sectors. Through these three missions,
Noé’s objective is to contribute to biodiversity conservation by i) the
sustainable management of ecosystems and their resources by and for the benefit of local communities, and
by ii) the structuring of decentralized protected areas that put local
populations at the heart of territorial issues and thus better protect certain
key species. Noé has been working in Cameroon since 2012 and supports the development of value chains
around various protected areas, in partnership with Cameroonian NGOs. Noé
also works in Cameroon on the periphery of privately managed protected areas
(hunting areas) to improve the mechanisms for the redistribution and
management of wildlife and natural resources, for the benefit of biodiversity and
local communities.
In this context, Noé is seeking an intern to be based in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
