Photographer’s Note

This is the only road to reach Faro Reserve, consisting of forested savanna, hills and mountains, extends to the border with Nigeria but has been badly affected by poaching in recent years.
There are a small population of rhinoceros, buffalo, elephant and harnessed guib.
The Atlantika mountains which the Cameroon/Nigeria border slices through the middle of, are on the background.
15.000 people live in this 200,000 hectares area with 2 health centers for primary care, no doctors at all and 4 nurses....
The only way to provide drugs and vaccines is "the hope road".
It's not its real name but I like to call it so... it's the only hope for 15000 persons and .... outlawers attacks are very frequent... so when you go there, you "hope" to come back home :)!
