ERuDeF’s Sports for Conservation

The wellbeing of employees determines the wellbeing of the organization. Maintaining long work hours, chasing deadlines, unhealthy lifestyle, and lack of physical exercise invariably leads to poor health patterns that results in low productivity.

It is against these odds that, ERuDeF on Saturday 18 January 2020 launched its “sports for conservation” program. The sporting activities which ranges from, from aerobics, athletics, football, handball, tennis, basketball and others, would offer a sturdy platform to practice discipline and maintain strong relationships among colleagues.

The sporting activities do not end only at the organizational level, as the unit seeks to engage forest communities and young Cameroonians in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development through sports.  The sports for conservation program will also be extended to schools, where sporting competitions are going to be organized and also ERuDeF is going to join other organizations, in promoting sports for conservation.
