That is like you sleep and dream that you have been awarded a PhD only to get up in the morning to realise it was just a dream. I hope this is not a ‘Foundjem’ but actual materialisation of a childhood dream comes true. This dream would have been a ‘Foundjem’ were it not of the timely support I got from a number of persons that i would like to thank. Foremost, I am indebted to my promoters at Ghent University, Prof. dr. ir. Guido Van Huylenbroeck and Prof. dr. ir. Patrick Van Damme for having accepted to guide me through the whole research and writing process. Your critical comments on my draft articles and patience to read through several versions of my papers have played a great role in shaping my ideas and writing which has led to this final product. To my promoter at ICRAF, Dr. Zac Tchoundjeu, I would say: the promotership started as far back as 2003 when you recruited me to work with you as a young research assistant. You continuously advised me to go for a PhD and supported my application for an MSc at the end of which you provided funding to be able to carry out this research. There are no better words to express my gratitude than to use the simple ‘Thank you’. To my guidance team, I will begin with you Prof. dr. ir. Marijke D’Haese. Our story dates back to 2009 when you guided me in my MSc thesis. Then you continued to my PhD. It was always a pleasure to move into your office at will to break some of your moments of deep thinking to ask questions and brainstorm with you about New Institutional Economics concepts and how we can contextualise them in the setting of my PhD. I would not have imagined having someone other than you to bore at will, it is not because you forced me to call you Marijke instead of madam. It is simply because you were ready to help. To you dr. ir. Stijn Speelman, I have learned a lot from you and i appreciate your critical thoughts and comments. Thank you for introducing me to the techniques of choice experiment. To you dr. ir. Ann Degrande of ICRAF, it was a pleasure working with. Thank you also for your comments and constructive suggestions on my draft articles and also reminders to prepare and send reports to the donors of this work. I am particularly grateful to my mates in the laboratory of tropical agriculture and ethonobotany: I will begin with you my dear cousin Hannes. It was a pleasure working with you in the same project. To Wouter, Kaat, Hamid, Omar, Ahmed, Sidi, Jila, Daniella, Serge Ngendakumana to name but a few, your jokes and comments during coffee breaks helped to reduce academic pressure. I would also want to thank you Isabel Vandriessche for all the administrative support you gave me throughout my stay in Ghent. To my colleagues in the Department of Agricultural Economics, it was wonderful to meet, know and work with you. Your contributions during our unit presentations were helpful in shaping my thoughts. Particular thanks go to: Sam Desiree, Wytse Vellema, Lotte Staelens, Leander Raes. Special appreciations also go to Evy Mettepeningen. She was always there to give whatever assistance needed. Prof. dr. ir. Jeroen Buysse, your course on agricultural research methods and also econometrics were very helpful to me. To my colleagues at ICRAF past and present: it was a pleasure working with you. I cannot forget you Charlie Mbosso and Alain Tsobeng we form the “trio of 17 March 2003” and I am certain in the months to come you will be saying the same thing as we started this journey together. To the young ‘ingénieurs agronomes’: Serge Babe, Nathalie Kana and Maryben vii Kuo who assisted me in collecting the data for this study. Thank you very much. Without you this work would not have been possible. True, but also due to the efforts of Andrew Nebaso, the ICRAF pilot who drove us through the entire trip from the stony roads to Acha-Tughi in the Northwest region to the sticky muddy roads of Mboy in the East region of Cameroon in between which we “wopla” several times on the road. At one point we needed our enumerators to be paid or our flight tickets to be bought to either attend an international conference or travel to Belgium as required but we failed to understand we had to follow procedures which are the rules of the game. Luckily, the administrators and finance team of ICRAF were there to remind us of the institutions governing such transactions. Thank you Lylian, Crose, Cosmas and Edith for all the administrative assistance. Before I quit the ICRAF family I would like to thank some former colleagues with whom I worked closely. These are Charly Facheux, Honore Tabuna, Amos Gyau, Asaah Ebenezer. All four of them have been my bosses in the marketing department of ICRAF. Peter Mbile, I missed your insightful thoughts and arguments but the little time we had it was a pleasure discussing with you. Thank you Precilia for the map. I am grateful to a number of colleagues and partners from sister organisations with whom I brainstormed while conceiving and working on this project. I will start with yor Dr. Ousseynou Ndoye and Dr. Julius Tiegohong C. both from the FAO NTFP programme office Yaounde. I enjoyed the fruitful discussions we had. Elise Touko, Tasse Benoit and the head NTFP programme in the Ministry of Forestry and wildlife. You eased my understanding and practical application of the 1994 Forestry Law. Raoul Ngueko of SNV Yaounde we worked enormously on selecting the attributes and their levels used in Chapter eight. I can remember the countless meetings and telephone conversations we had on the attributes and attribute levels. I appreciate your time and suggestions. Thank you also Dr. Vabi Michael for some important reading materials you shared with me in the early stages of this work. They helped in shaping mu thoughts. To the producers and traders who accepted to take part in this survey. Thank you very much for the information. My deepest gratitude to you farmer organisation members for the information you gave us. As we agreed, your identities have to be anonymous. To my friends Julius Niba Fon, you advised me to drop physics and follow you to the agronomy school. I wouldn’t have reached this level were it not of the timely advice. To you Fangwa Emma and your wife Nadesh, thank you for keeping my family company in my absence. Godwill Nimino, Anneh Mundi and Dieudonné Almagi we socialised during and after working hours. It was necessary to relive the stress. To you, Buma Carine, Emma and Céline Termote, you are all wonderful ladies. I spent some of the stressful time during my stay in Ghent with you.

  • Tangible Reality?: Challenging the Rigidity of the 1964 Cairo Declaration
    DRAFT Challenging the rigidity of 1964 Cairo declaration – Donaldson Tangible reality?: Challenging the rigidity of the 1964 Cairo declaration (DRAFT PAPER NOT FOR CITATION) ABORNE Conference, Johannesburg, 9‐12 September 2009 John W. Donaldson International Boundaries Research Unit Department of Geography Durham University DRAFT Tangible reality? – Donaldson, ABORNE 2009 1. Boundaries and borders 1.1. The increasing gulf in academic approaches to boundaries and borders has made it more difficult to interlink the two and find areas of common ground where the approaches may be mutually beneficial. Boundaries are distinguished by three characteristics; they are fixed/static, linear and bilateral. The traditional definition of borders identifies them as the geographic areas around the pre‐existent boundary1 which will include the infrastructures of controlling movement from one jurisdiction to another. The linguistic distinction between the terms has long been debated and recent scholars have observed that the two sub‐ disciplines have gradually drifted apart to become what Henk Van Houtum calls “separate subfields.”2 Boundary studies have become more aligned with international legal scholarship than its traditional genus of political geography where border and bordering discourses have become more dominant.3 The two sub‐disciplines may be drifting apart but that has not always been the case. As the African Union Border Programme has set in motion recovery and improved definition of African boundaries by 2012, it may be useful for policy‐makers to recall that boundaries and borders have had a much more complex relationship even during these unique practices of boundary‐making than may be popularly understood. 1.2.

Box 782, Bamenda, Cameroon. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Received: May 18, 2015 Accepted: June 3, 2015 Online Published: January 2, 2016 doi:10.5539/jsd.v9n1p14 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v9n1p14 Abstract This study seeks to build a strategy to overcome the psychological barriers to climate change management for rural communities in Fako Division. We employ a five point likert scale in which 100 inhabitants (adults) were surveyed purposefully surveyed in four rural communities (Malende, Bakingili, Bokwai and Miselele) of Fako Division (25 for each community) to identify the observed barriers. Based on the mean values derived from the 5 point likert scale, the study revealed that ignorance (mean=3.27) was the highest psychological barrier while denial stood as the least (mean=2.25). We then, as a recommendation, proposed a strategy for overcoming these psychological barriers which suggests that the government, the councils, NGOs, traditional authorities and the local population should collectively work together to identify people’s socio-economic needs and improve climate change management by empowering the population through workshop sensitisation, seminars and the use of the local media to reduce ignorance.

The RDR basin is a passive margin basin present in the Gulf of Guinea and it is located southeast of Niger Delta over an area of about 7,000 km2 offshore. Its stratigraphic components, like those of Niger Delta, comprise of a diachronous succession of prodelta shales (Akata Formation), overlain by delta front sands and shales (Agbada Formation), in turn, overlain by fluvial sands (Benin Formation). The age of this basin ranges from Eocene to Recent and it consists of four structural provinces namely; the growth fault province in the north, the Cretaceous Onshore province in the southeast, the Shale Ridge province in the southwest, and the Delta Toe-thrust in the south-central region. The RDR Basin features three stages of tectonic development: Pre-rift phase (Late Proterozoic to Late Jurassic); Syn-rift phase (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous) and Post-rift phase (Late Cretaceous to Holocene).

  • Recent Survey on the Distribution of the African Manatee
    RECENT SURVEY ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE AFRICAN MANATEE MASAHARU NISHIWAKI, MASASHI YAMAGUCHI, SHIGEMITSU SHOKITA Faculty of Science, University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa SENZO UCHIDA Okinawa Ocean EXPO Memorial Park Aquarium, Okinawa AND TERUO KATAOKA Toba Aquarium, Mie ABSTRACT The survey was made in travelling west African countries in 1980 and 1981 mainly on the distribution of African manatee, Trichechus senegalensis. It was confirmed that the manatees were inhabiting the Senegal River system. Manatees were distributed sparsely between Guinea-Bissau and Liberia through Sierra Leone and abundantly from Ivory Coast to Nigeria extending to Mali. Considerable numbers were in Cameroon and Gabon. The most abundant area was in the Niger River and its tributaries with connected swamps. According to the literature, the southern limit of the distribution is in Angola, but we were not able to enter the country to confirm it. INTRODUCTION A fundamental thing for the study of an animal distribution is to determine wheth­ er only one or more than one species are present. In an attempt to answer the species question, the senior author examined the sirenia collection at the British Museum (Natural History) in 1973. Also, through the kind cooperation of Dr. Chales Roux (Museum Nationale d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris), the senior author studied the skeleton of a male manatee in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and found no evi­ dence that more than a single species of African manatee exists. This agrees with previous findings (Hatt, 1934; Kaiser, 1974; Rice, 1977; Husar, 1978). Since then, the senior author has visited Dakar and Abidjan twice for pre­ paratory survey on the status of the animals.

    DEDICATION It is with great honour, respect and sympathy that I dedicate this piece of study to my late uncle; late 1st Lieutenant Alobwede Marcus Njikang, from whom what I am today greatly depended on. I thank him for telling and teaching me that great things and persons are born from tiny sparks of inspiration. May his soul rest in perfect peace. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The writing of this report has been one of the most noteworthy academic challenges I have ever had to face. Without the support, tolerance and leadership of the following people, this study would not have reached its end. It is to them that I owe my intimate appreciation. Firstly, I will like to thank the almighty God for His spiritual courage, care and energy, He alone provided to me all through my education. Special thanks go to Gunnar Elingsen, who undertook to act as my supervisor despite his many other academic and professional commitments. His wisdom, knowledge and commitment to the highest standards inspired and motivated me. My friends, colleagues and classmates, who inspired my final effort despite the enormous work pressure we were all facing together. Immense thanks goes to all those who participated in this research project with interest and enthusiasm. I will like to give a special thank you to my parents, who have always sustained my educational efforts, encouraged and believed in me, in all my activities and who so loving and generously cared for me and my kid brothers and sisters. Lastly, I will like to thank my beloved one; Pauline N, for the care, courage and perseverant during all this difficult moment of my life.
