International Organization for Animal Protection (OIPA) Cameroon – Protecting Animals. Supporting Communities.
OIPA Cameroon is a non-profit organization committed to protecting animals from cruelty, neglect, and exploitation. We work closely with government authorities, civil society organizations, traditional leaders, institutions, and local communities to build sustainable systems that improve animal welfare and biodiversity protection.
Our mission is to protect and improve the welfare of animals across Cameroon through rescue, veterinary care, advocacy, and education. We work in collaboration with Government authorities, civil society organizations, academia and research institutions, and local communities to promote compassionate animal care and support sustainable livelihoods that depend on animals.
Our vision is a Cameroon where animals are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. Where animals are free from cruelty, neglect, and exploitation—and where Government, civil society, institutions, and communities work together to actively promote and uphold animal welfare.

The world’s largest frog lives in Cameroon – and it’s in danger
The majestic Goliath Frog is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and illegal hunting. Without urgent action, future generations may never hear its call. Protecting rivers, wetlands, and forests where Goliath Frogs live Educating communities and schools on the importance of wildlife conservation Mobilizing volunteers and eco-tourists to monitor and safeguard populations Advocating for stronger laws to prevent cruelty and habitat destruction You can make a difference. Every action counts – from spreading awareness to supporting our conservation programs. Together, we can ensure that Cameroon’s giant frogs not only survive, but thrive.
OIPA Cameroon believes that farmed animals are sentient beings deserving of dignity, protection, and compassionate care. Our work is grounded in the principle that animals are not merely production assets, but living beings capable of suffering and well-being.
Through mobile veterinary outreach, emergency treatment, vaccination campaigns, and community education, we act to prevent cruelty, neglect, and avoidable suffering among cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry, donkeys, and horses. We train farmers and animal owners in humane handling, proper nutrition, disease prevention, and improved housing conditions, promoting respect and responsibility toward animals. While farmed animals are part of rural livelihoods in Cameroon, OIPA Cameroon does not promote animal consumption or exploitation. Instead, we advocate for higher welfare standards, ethical treatment, and long-term systemic change that reduces suffering and advances compassion for all animals. Our mission is to build a society where animals are protected, valued beyond their economic use, and treated with humanity and respect.
