A mission to deploy and install camera traps was carried out by the AGBO-ZEGUE NGO team in the Fazao-Malfakassa National Park (PNFM) and the Abdoulaye Wildlife Reserve from March 1 to 10, 2021 with the support of conservators and ecoguards.

In May 2020, the NGO AGBO-ZEGUE received a grant for the project “Contribution à l’amélioration des statuts de conservation des carnivores dans les aires protégées du Togo” funding from IUCN Save Our Species and the European Union to establish scientific evidence of the presence of large carnivores: the lion (Panthera leo) and the leopard (Panthera pardus) in Togo. Taking part in the mission to collect data on the presence of these large carnivores in Togo were the Executive Director of the NGO AGBO-ZEGUE, John Kokou Toviho GAGLO, and the project’s two technical assistants, Madame Jeanne Kafui DEKAWOLE and Monsieur Délagnon ASSOU.
