Two local non-profits, Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program (BBPP) and Bioko Marine Turtle Program (BMTP) are training local women to create jewelry. BBPP sells the items at its Research Center in Moka, along with traditional wooden bells; BMTP has items for sale at the French cultural center. The Malabo National Park has a gallery and gift shop with local crafts, art works, publications, jewelry, and toys.
