Mokele-Mbembe Expedition 2015

My mates and I will be doing our damnedest to find the elusive Mokele-mbembe in the next year or so.

We’ll also be pressing the Cameroonian authorities to deal severely with poachers of elephants and gorillas. They have heard us by sending 600 commandos into our search area to arrest the lowlifes who cater to the barbarous trade in animal parts.

Bill Gibbons put together this video to emphasize the perils and work that lie before us.

It’s graphic, but it shows what we have to contend with when we are in the nether reaches of the Dja river region.

We do what we have to even though we face real danger. The slaughter has to stop and the great unknown we have sought needs to be protected. We won’t cease until both objectives are achieved.

Plans are now underway to return to a discreet location near the upper Dja River in January 2015. Please check in with us on Facebook at ‘Into The Cameroon’ and learn what you can do to help us make the trip. We hope to track the movements of elephant & gorilla poachers with the help of our Cameroonian friends & colleagues, as well as gather evidence for new and rare species in the area. Its going to be tough, but together we CAN make it happen!
