In fact, a community which had hitherto lived freely on a land from which it drew all its livelihood resources, may suddenly be deprived of the latter, robbed of its land or displaced to unknown lands. Traditional activities are compatible with the maintenance of the forest cover and a diversity of wildlife: we should not forget that the state of current equatorial ecosystems is the result of human activities. There is no virgin forest in the strict sense of the word.

We extend our gratitude to all those who took part in the preparation and publication of this report. We owe a great deal to all the Baka communities of the research site who shared their traditional knowledge regarding the management of biological diversity in the Dja Reserve. In particular, we thank: Abacha Samuel, Alengue Ndengue, Assing Didier Claver, Ati Majinot, Atyi Jean- Marie, Biango Felix, Bissiang Martin, Bitoto Gilbert, Djala Luc, Djampene Pierre, Etong Mustapha, Evina Reymondl, Mama Jean-Bosco, Megata François, Megolo Bonaventure, Mokomo Dieudonné, Movombo Benjamin, Ndo Joseph, Ndolo Samuel, Nsimba Josue, Onanas Thomas, Sala Mefe Sylvestre, and Ze Thierry. We hope that policy-makers and managers of this important protected area shall take into consideration the recommendations of this report when planning or managing this area, which is the very home of these peoples. We are grateful to CED for making their staff available for the successful implementation and completion of this work. We refer particularly to Belmond Tchoumba, Georges Thierry Handja, Stephen Nounah, Gérôme Tamo and Emmanuel Minsolo. The technical assistance received from FPP through John Nelson was invaluable, and we are very grateful to him. Above all, our thanks go to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS) and the Novib-Hivos Biodiversity Fund for their financial support. Were it not for their support, this work would not have been possible. Tchoumba and Nelson 2 June 2006 Protecting and encouraging customary use of biological resources by the Baka in the Dja Biosphere Reserve Executive Summary This report summarises a case study of community forest use prepared by the Cameroon NGO the Centre for Environment and Development (CED) and the UK-based Forest Peoples Programme (FPP). The case study was prepared in collaboration with Baka and Bantu people living and working in and around Mekas, located on the western side of the Dja Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site. The case study describes the Baka peoples’ customary use of biological diversity and analyses the extent to which conservation policies and practices protect their rights and interests. The report makes recommendations for an improved incorporation of these peoples’ traditional practices in biodiversity conservation strategies, in particular those of the Dja Biosphere Reserve. At the centre of this case study are four Baka communities who have mapped their use of their forests using Geographical Information Systems. The study also outlines the local administrative and socio-political context as well as Baka beliefs and rituals. It then summarises their principal forest activities. The main activities mentioned in the case study, and recorded in the community forest-use maps presented on pages 27-30, include hunting and trapping, fishing, gathering and agriculture.

Bambili-Bamenda, University of Bamenda, Cameroon; 5Department of Physics, Faculty of Genial Engineering, University of Douala, Cameroon Abstract: The quantitative interpretation of gravity anomalies due to shallow structures needs separation between long wavelength anomalies (regional anomalies) and short wavelength anomalies (residual anomalies). The regional-residual field separation can be carried out using the polynomial method. In this case, the so-called regional field of order n is treated as a polynomial of degree n. The present study shows that the degree n must vary between a smallest value nmin and a maximum value nmax. This article presents a method to process gravity data that allows determination of nmin and nmax for a given study area. We apply the method to gravity data of the South-West Cameroon zone. In this chosen study area, we find that regional anomaly maps of orders ranging from 1 to 9 and residual anomaly maps of orders ranging from 1 to 8 can be used for suitable interpretation. The analyses show that one may need residual anomaly maps of several orders to perform satisfactory quantitative interpretation of the different intrusive bodies found in a given area.

  • Resolving Land-Related Conflicts Through Dialogue: Lessons from The
    Resolving land-related conflicts through dialogue: Lessons from the outskirts of a protected area in Cameroon Michelle Sonkoue, Romuald Ngono and Anna Bolin Legal tools for citizen empowerment Around the world, citizens’ groups are taking action to change the way investment in natural resources is happening and to protect rights and the environment for a fairer and more sustainable world. IIED’s Legal Tools for Citizen Empowerment initiative develops analysis, tests approaches, documents lessons and shares tools and tactics amongst practitioners (www.iied.org/legal-tools). The Legal Tools for Citizen Empowerment series provides an avenue for practitioners to share lessons from their innovative approaches to claim rights. This ranges from grassroots action and engaging in legal reform, to mobilising international human rights bodies and making use of grievance mechanisms, through to scrutinising international investment treaties, contracts and arbitration. This paper is one of a number of reports by practitioners on their lessons from such approaches.

ABSTRACT Objectives: The specific characteristics of the elderly physiopathology, such as polypathology and polypharmacy, arouse interest in the quality of the care offered to this age group. The study aimed to analyse the gap between the pathological and therapeutic profiles at the local level in Cameroon. Method: This was a six-month cross-sectional situational analysis at the Biwong-Bane District Medical Centre in the South region of Cameroon. Pathological data were collected from the consultation register, and those related to therapeutics were taken from the drug inventory lists for the period of July 2019 to July 2020, using two separate reading grids.

  • The Role of Community Institutions in the Management of Non-Timber Forest Products in the Bipindi-Akom Ii Region of South Cameroon
    THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS IN THE BIPINDI-AKOM II REGION OF SOUTH CAMEROON internal report (not for citation without prior consent of the publisher) Ntenwu Te rence Noah Mugwachu September, 2000 i DEDICATION This report is dedicated to my spiritual father Mr. Awemo Cornelius (RIP). He inspired me most. “We are dust and on to dust we shall return”. “God gave, God has taken back, Blessed be the name of the Lord”. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The present report is the result of a study on exploitation and management of a selected set of six Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in the tropical rain forest of South Cameroon. It was part of the research project “The role of community institutions in the management of NTFPs in Cameroon” and carried out within the framework of the Central African Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) with support of the Biodiversity Support program (BSP), a consortium of World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy and World Resources Institute, with funding of the United State Agency for International Development (USAID). The project was implemented by the Tropenbos Foundation with logistical assistance of the Tropenbos Cameroon Programme (TCP) in collaboration with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the ECOFAC project. None of the above mentioned organizations bear responsibility for the research findings, which are the authors’ own. Before presenting this report, I would first like to express my profound gratitude to those who have contributed in one way or the other towards its realisation.
