Mvogo Ndongo et al. (2024) recently discovered and described the threatened freshwater crab Sudanonautes nkam from two small populations in streams near Yabassi, Cameroon (the ‘Parc des Princes’ in Yabassi city, and ‘Banya’ in the nearby forest) at the remote forest of Ebo. This species appears to be facing threats from widespread anthropogenic activities such as habitat destruction, exploitation for human consumption, and detergents and other harmful chemicals from washing clothes that may affect juvenile crabs. The proposed project aims to collect data on S. nkam that include population structure (sex ratio, size, and abundance), and reproductive biology (breeding needs, recruitment, and fecundity), useful to assess its IUCN Red List status. The project also includes an on-going education component that will largely aim to mitigate anthropogenic threats to the crab, S. nkam and its habitat. At the same time, our educational efforts will also have a positive impact on other threatened species. In addition to freshwater crabs, the forest and river networks in Yabassi in the Ebo forest zone are also a refuge for a host of charismatic wildlife, that includes chimpanzees, monkeys, manatees, fishes, birds, turtles, snakes, and amphibians.
