The Dja Faunal Reserve was established in 1950 and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It is a vital part of the Congo Basin's extensive rain forests. The Dja Faunal Reserve is one of Africa's largest protected tracts of rainforest. The Dja River, which works as a natural border for the area, marks out 90% of the reserve as a pristine and protected forest. The reserve is home to 107 mammals, including a considerable number of primates, for which it is most famous.

The white-collared mangabey, mandrill, drill, Western lowland gorilla, and chimpanzee are just a few of the primate species protected by the Dja Faunal Reserve. It connects to the Congolese Odzala-Kokoua National Park and Gabonese Minkébé National Park to form the TRIDOMarea, a crucial zone for the conservation of the Congo basin's African rainforest environment.

The reserve is home to about 1,500 plant species, 107 mammals (including forest elephants, African forest buffalo, and leopards), and 320 bird species. Within the reserve's boundaries, there is also a group of Baka pygmies who live in a relatively traditional manner. They contribute to the site's cultural value and are allowed to hunt using traditional ways, however, agriculture and professional hunting are prohibited. The location is not easily accessible, so a local guide is recommended.

Korup National Park is a large region of evergreen forest covering 126,000 hectares. With resident scientists and well-marked routes, the park is well-maintained. The park is home to a variety of bird species, including hornbills and the highly uncommon red-headed rockfowl. The forests are quite old, include a lot of indigenous species, and are incredibly diversified. The forest canopy is typically 15-25 meters tall, with emergents reaching up to 50 meters in height. Lecomtedoxa klaineana, a typical massive tree with huge boles and remarkable buttresses, is second-most frequent in terms of basal area. More than 100 mammalian species, 435 bird species, 170 reptile, and amphibian species, and 140 fish species live in the rain forest.

Several primates, including chimps, red-capped mangabeys, red-eared monkeys, red colobus monkeys, baboons, and the rare drill, are among the park's inhabitants. Leopards, duikers, buffalos, and elephants are among the park's other mammals. The park is accessible via Mundemba town, which is about a five-hour drive from Buea or a six-hour flight from Douala International Airport. During the rainy season, from July to November, the road to Mudemba is slick, whereas, during the dry season, it is dusty.

Elephants and monkeys are scarce, but visitors to the park may be lucky enough to witness them. The park's road access can be difficult, especially during the rainy season when the road conditions deteriorate. It's important to note that the Chimpanzee camp is a 7-mile journey from the Mana footbridge, so plan accordingly.

3000 Years Petroglyphs, 20 kilometers from Guider, Cameroon, includes petroglyphs dating from 3000 to 300 years old. The monument is being considered for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list of places with "great universal worth" to the world, which is being threatened by local cement and marble manufacturing industries. The Rupestral Engravings of Bidzar, on the other hand, feature a marble field with a Cipolin outcrop covering 130 square kilometers. This is situated on Maroua Garoua road. Marble engravings with diagrammatic representations adorn the flagstone. The art represented in this engraving is part of Cameroon's cultural heritage. This engraving, known as the geometric styles diagram, is thought to be man-made, with some examples dating back over 300 years.

The engravings were carved on calcareous marble, which had its pale color changed by the presence of schist rich in chlorites, resulting in shades of green, yellow, blue, or pink. This marble appears to have been chosen voluntarily because it has a low resistance to engraving, whereas nearby rocks such as granite and mica-schist are too hard and too soft. Only iron tools could have carved the engravings; the initial layer of marble is easily removed, revealing the white and most resistant area of the rock. The Bidzar engravings certainly have a message, but it is up to the individual to interpret it. Furthermore, the local people are unaware of their significance.
