- 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. At the foot of a volcano, Martin Cheek discovered a dense tropical forest, miraculously preserved and full of endemic plant species. In only a few expeditions, his team managed to inventory over two hundred previously unknown plant species, including orchids, types of coffee plants, and fig-trees.
Their discoveries attracted the attention of other NGO’s, including CRES, an organization dedicated to the preservation of endangered animal species. Upon exploring this region, CRES members discovered that it constituted one of the rare sanctuaries where large, silver-faced monkeys called Drills, the cousins of the Mandrill, still live. In 1996, the Drill was designated by the IUCN as the African species most in need of protection.
Following the steps of the botanist, Martin Cheek, and the primatologist, Bethan Morgan, we explore the enchanting region that surrounds Mount Manengouba - a volcano that has stood dormant for millenia. There, we discover its incredible floral and faunal richness as well as landscapes straight out of an Arthur Conan Doyle novel. We also encounter the Bakossis, a native tribe which believes that each tree of the forest houses the spirit of one of its ancestors, and which fights tirelessly to preserve its region from the increasingly numerous attacks of deforestation.

It's great that this region has been "discovered" by a British researcher yet locals tell him exactly where to go 🙄
It is just one of their lies. Just like they claimed Christophe colomb discovered America yet he found people there.
true. it's not real if they haven't destroyed it after "discovering" it. pests.
Discovered! how can you discover a place where indigenous people are already there.
That’s skewed history for you. Indigenous people discovered every place but white man took the credit.
Thanks for sharing this. I was glad to see people from my village, Ngomboku.
Thanks big bro for sharing this to us I really spend all my break to watch this 😊 😊
What a spectacular primate, the Drill.
Thank you endlessly for the efforts of those trying to teach about the importance of conservation.
We are blessed we are nature thanks to big bro Mr wakawaka making me come across this mind blowing documentary of my clan Bakossi and my village in particular FIN NGOMBO-KU is good memories 😊
Wow what a scene, thanks @Best Documentay
გაუმარჯოს როჟე მილას და მაკანაკის ქვეყანას.
Gracias Bestdocumentary, por hacer mi descanso laboral mas ameno con un trabajo tan fenomenal.
Wow thiên nhiên thật hùng vĩ và tươi đẹp
Tôi thích cảnh khu rừng đó bạn
😅I use prunus Africanus. It sold under the name pgyeum. While Saw Palmetto treats the symptoms Pygeum not only treats the symptoms but promotes healing. It doesn't grow well from seeds and wild harvested Pygeum was hurting natural stocks but since then they have learned how to grow it from cuttings and are establishing plantations.
Wow africa is so green..
saya suka selali melihat orang2 yang melestarikan alam..sayang sekali saya tidak punya ilmu untuk ikut2 meneliti..tapi sy sangat menjaga lingkungan..
I do hope African biologists and scientists are carried along in all of these studies?
Carried along? Lol
Why should they be if they're not studying it? SMH.
@Madonnalitta1 Are you saying there are no biologists and scientists in Africa?
I'll suggest you do some research in that area, starting with Cameroon.
No. That's not what he said. "Cameroon is viewed as rife with corruption at all levels of government. In 1997, Cameroon established anti-corruption bureaus in 29 ministries, but only 25% became operational,[59] and in 2012, Transparency International placed Cameroon at number 144 on a list of 176 countries ranked from least to most corrupt" - Kew Gardens has been studying plants around the world since 1759. @@HRL.
@adammillwardart7831 Really?!
Are you sure you understand the sentences in his comment, or were you just quick to respond?
All you have said is totally off the point.
Kew garden could have been carrying out such studies for that long. From then to date.
Are you saying there are no single biologists and scientists in the whole of the continent of Africa to carry along in these studies, not even one in Cameroon?
If at all we rub all you had said in their face.
Is there no corruption in the West or in England where Kew Garden is located? As it seems you have now painted a picture of the whole Cameroon corrupt, by your comment.
Which country does not have its challenges in that area, or is it because some chose to keep theirs under wraps out of the glare of TV screens.
The people in the Kew Gardens are not the ones who are responsible for the corruption in Cameroon. The fact there is so much corruption is one of the reasons they are doing their research, before corrupt Cameroonian scientists tell their leaders there are mineral deposits to be exploited.... @@HRL.
Excepcional.
Parabéns pelo trabalho.
Hoje, 2023, a Amazônia entrega aos montes madeira de lei.
Tudo através do contrabando, sem legítima extração, tudo destruição.
درود،تشکراززحمات شما.دلخووش بودم به زیرنویسهای فارسی،ممنون میشم درنظربگیریدخواسته منو❤
I wonder if they have succeeded in getting it declared a National Park. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 73yrs
They did. The documentary was done in 2007. In 2008 the Bakossi National Park has been declared to conserve plant diversity.

PRESERVADO, UMA VISITA NESSE SANTUÁRIO, NO FUTURO, IRÁ CUSTAR UMA BOA GRANA, DEIXANDO RIQUEZAS PARA O POVO. A FLORESTA EM PÉ DÁ MAIS LUCRO!

Im from Cameroon, my country is Africa’s Imenature!
C'est où en côte d'ivoire ?ou c'est encore au continent Cameroun ?
Everywhere all eyes are the eyes of God. Time manifest in Timing.
The soil is so... Red.
I can't understand why someone would want to eat primates?
I cant understand why you wouldnt want to try everything atleast once.
Your applying our own cultural norms to one completely different from our own. There could be a large number of reasons for this. Perhaps it's the result of a superstition, or perhaps it takes better than other local sources of meat. It's important to not discount their cultural just because of some alien customs. Remember some of the things people used to do in the western world? Like bloodletting or ingesting mercury, we used to do some crazy stuff too.

Maybe it can be illustrated with squirrels in North America. If you go into a deep old pine forest in North America about the only two animals to hunt are grouse and squirrels. If you go to deep tropical forest where the ground is nearly dark from shade your forced to hunt the animals of the canopy tree tops. Parrots and Monkeys, unfortunately people elsewhere feel squeamish about the little hands, I know I do and I also feel affection towards parrots. Its not my place to judge and protein is hard to come by in such deep forests.
Monkeys/Apes also compete for the limited resources so it’s a win-win for them
Why ?? Allah said this Adam
lost???? stop showing the colonizers our treasures.
Eh oui, spectateurs de, et dans leur propre pays...
Bakassi used to be Nigerian with Nigerian tribes.
It's Bakossi and not Bakassi. Moreover, Bakassi is Cameroon
@@funnynation1251 How do you mean? If you don't know something don't try to lay claims. Obasanjo ceded Bakassi to Cameroon. Bakossi people are ethnic tribe and that is not what is being talked about. If you look very well the Drill Moneys are mostly found in Nigeria and those found in Cameroon are in the border area with us.
Bakassi is in Cross River state of Nigeria despite being governed by Cameroon because ICC gives it to Cameroon for flimsy excuse.
The Bakossi forest is far from Bakassi. Two different places. Bakassi is in the Ndian division which boarders Nigeria. Bakossi is in Kupe Muanenguba division which is far from Nigeria
@@funnynation1251 Okay. Thank you for clarifying that.
Bakassi is completely a Nigerian territory which is robbed from us due to bad leader who decides to cede it to Cameroon based on threat from UN, as the case is passed in favour of Cameroon by crooked ICC. Now Nigeria has lost a huge chuck of that land to Southern Cameroon which is once under Nigeria. I am not happy with that.
@@funnynation1251 Another thing is that the Bakossi is possibly under Nigeria in the 60's. The people speak English and that leads credence to my prior point.
This is Nigerian land ceded to Cameroon.
See some fool! 😂😂😂😂
oga learn your history oh. you sound ignorant. german cameroon na what? it's nigeria who has our lands ohhhhh. you took adamawa states and we will reclaim it like others.
@@scrollpeace2485 British Nigeria Cameroon is what? Go and tell your people that we are coming for our land.
@@scrollpeace2485 NOBODY took your land. The matter was even settled at the ICJ: The people of Adamawa and Taraba voted to join Nigeria and hardly anybody regrets that decision. On the contrary many of those who voted to join Francophone Cameroun still regrets that decision.
@@raymondmordi7937 no because they didn't respect democracy. It's our LANDS! They don't regret as it's a frustration and the biafrans/nigerians living there accentuated things for their interests. What gains do they have in Nigeria? We win Nigeria in every aspect per capita(security, most educated blacks population in the world, best position in the geopolotical game of Africa, best hdi, self sufficiency). Just because we don't talk of what we do in the shadow doesn't mean others africans or blacks in the world need to speak like others cameroonians. No black country can talk in front of a cameroonian. They're not our equal.
wow
