I've only been to Gabon and Madagascar in Africa...well, I did spend 30 minutes on the tarmac in the plane in Cameroon on the way to Gabon but I don't think that counts, he he. I'd like to visit some of the Baka in Cameroon some time.

Yeah it counts. I give it a "Go".
What did you do in Gabon and Madagascar, vacation?
I also want to go back to Cameroon one day. To see more.
Some places are not save, because Boko Haram is operating there.

In Madagascar I did a Tropical Biology field course and a work experience with an NGO working with bat conservation. In Gabon I did a masters project about non-timber forest products used by the Baka forest peoples in the north of the country, so actually I was very close to the Cameroon border there.

Sounds interesting! I like the project idea about non-timber forest products. I undsterstand you want to go to the Baka people!

Yes, and in Cameroon I'm aware of a few NGOs working with them that seem to have a cool ethos.

Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology (wikipedia).

Do you mean they have a good spirit?

Yes, I like the set of ideas and attitudes that they share. The NGO focuses on musical celebration, cultural sharing, and economic sharing and subsequent prosperity of well-being in a very humble way.

Good things to hear! My dad worked for the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC).
I grew up with nice songs in the churches haha
