Forests have been recognised as having potentials to generate income, employment, support the health and diet of humans, and provide places for amenity, tourism and spiritual welfare. All of the above is true for the Mount Cameroon National Park (MCNP). In recognition of this truth, the Government of Cameroon emphasizes the sustainable management of national parks for biodiversity conservation, local and national development, and contribution to global climate stability. Sustainable management of national park begins with a management plan elaborated in conformity with the national directives. These directives prescribe the active participation of the local community and other stakeholders in the processes of elaborating and validating the management plan, which describes the situation in and out of the park and measures to fulfil the objectives of creating the park. For the past three months, Government and partners have been consulting with local communities and stakeholders at local, divisional, regional and national levels with the view of producing a management plan for Mt Cameroon National Park. This visionary and innovative management plan seeks to transform the park to a world class tourist destination. It prescribes bold initiatives to conserve biodiversity and alleviate poverty at local level. Furthermore, a sustainable funding model has been advanced to achieve these objectives. The information used to prepare this management plan was collected with the collaboration of the local communities over a period of 15 years of research work with financial and technical support of various organisations and actors in the area. These include the Limbe Botanical Garden, the Limbe Wildlife Centre, the Mount Cameroon Projects, the Global Environmental Facilities (GEF), World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF), GIZ, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Environmental Research Programme (ERP), the Program for the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources, South West Region, Cameroon (PSMNR-SWR), Competitive Value Chain Project (PCFC), and independent researches. I wish to thank the local communities for their participation in the collection of relevant data used to elaborate this plan and their valuable contributions during the different stages of validation. I will also thank our technical and financial partners for their contribution to this important achievement for the management of the Mt Cameroon National Park. I am confident that their participation in the implementation and monitoring of this management plan is assured. It is on this assurance that I have no doubts that the management vision for the Mount Cameroon National Park will be attained. His Excellency, the Minister of Forestry and Wildlife 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Mt Cameroon National Park was created through Decree No. 2009/2272/PM on the 18th December 2009. The park which falls within the IUCN Category II protection status has a total surface area of 58,178 ha and is located between 4.055° - 4.378° N and 9.031° - 9.294° E. This park is a biodiversity hotspot with a rich and diverse flora and fauna. It also hosts diverse ecotourism potentials. Aware of the threats to conservation of this unique and rich ecosystem, the Government of Cameroon (GoC) in collaboration with Development and Conservation Organisations identified three main objectives to guide the management of this park: To conserve

  • Amphibians and Reptiles of a Proposed Iron Ore Mining Concession in Southern Cameroon
    Herpetology Notes, volume 14: 1051-1065 (2021) (published online on 09 August 2021) Amphibians and reptiles of a proposed iron ore mining concession in southern Cameroon Nono L. Gonwouo1,*, Arnaud M.F. Tchassem1, Thomas M. Doherty-Bone2,3, and Mark-Oliver Rödel4 Abstract. We present a checklist of amphibian and reptile species that occur in the Ntem Iron ore mining concession in southern Cameroon, compiled as part of a broader biodiversity impact survey during a two-week herpetofaunal survey. Visual and acoustic encounter surveys were carried out during day and night, covering the entire area of mining exploration. We document the presence of 38 amphibian and 28 reptile species. The most notable observation was a 150-km southward range extension of Didynamipus sjostedti. Other species of conservation concern include Conraua goliath, Leptodactylodon albiventris, L. ventrimarmoratus, Osteolaemus tetraspis, Varanus niloticus, and Kinixys erosa. These and numerous other forest-dwelling species indicate the intact nature of herpetofauna forest assemblages at the study sites. Efforts to conserve the herpetofauna at these sites should focus on protecting and monitoring the intact forest corridors linking the concession to a neighbouring forest reserve, as well as plans for restoration once extraction is completed. Keywords. Species richness, habitat, fragmentation, management, rainforest Introduction influenced by microclimate, such as temperature and humidity, as well as by the presence of microhabitats (e.g., Anthropogenic habitat change is a major factor driving forest leaf litter; Wake, 1991; Blaustein et al., 1994; Ernst species and population declines (Stuart et al., 2004; et al., 2006), making them vulnerable to forest alteration Reading et al., 2010; Böhm et al., 2013; Pimm et al., and clearance (Ernst and Rödel, 2005; Ernst et al., 2006; 2014), and it has been identified as a primary threat to Barrett and Guyer, 2008).

Tchabal Mbabo is a remote mountain range in Central Cameroon which covers 79,000 ha; only three amphi- bian and no reptile species are listed for this area. We conducted two expeditions, in 1998 and 2000, to survey the her- petofauna. We used opportunistic visual encounter surveys and driftfence/pitfall trap arrays for sampling. Our findings increased the number of amphibian and reptile species known for the area to 15 each. We discovered one recently des- cribed new frog species (Cardioglossa alsco) and found an additional six species of anurans and one lizard species which could not be assigned to any described species. The deceptive endemism of amphibians for this area is remarkable. We report a range extension of 400 km and montane gallery forest as a novel habitat for the skink Lacertaspis chriswildi.
