Mission

The diversity of the flora and fauna of Cameroon and the close cultural association of the peoples with them call for a profound understanding of their biology if we must optimise and sustain the interaction. The Department of Zoology and Animal Physiology therefore seeks to train theoretically sound and practice-oriented biologists with a modern vision of the living world, who are appropriately empowered with analytical skills of solving problems of immediate concern to the community using sustainable approaches, and who are capable of applying their skills to agriculture, human and veterinary medicine, service industries, biotechnology and environmental conservation.
