But the main relevant impacts are recorded since 1990 due to intensification of agricultural activities and urbanization. LULC effects and dynamics vary from one region to another according to the type of vegetation cover and activities. Using remote sensing, GIS and subsidiary data, this paper attempted to model the land use and land cover (LULC) change in the Centre Region of Cameroon that host Yaoundé metropolis. The rapid expansion of the city of Yaoundé drives to the land conversion with farmland intensification and forest depletion accelerating the rate at which land use and land cover (LULC) transformations take place.

The total planned capacity to be installed is 420 MW, with 7 generators with an electric power unit of 60 MW, corresponding to 980 m3/s of design flow. The Project is developed by 3 partners (the State of Cameroon, EDF, IFC) under a joint development agreement signed on 8 November 2013. Construction is expected to start in 2018 and the operational implementation will spread out from 2021 to 2022. The project will engender relatively moderate environmental and social impacts as a run-of-river facility with the creation of a low surface reservoir. The main potential social impacts of the Project are: Physical and economic displacement due to the Project’s influence and its impact on: - Residential houses, - Farmlands where cash crops and vegetable crops are cultivated - Fishing grounds: - that will disappear at the level of the Nachtigal Upstream rapids through

  • RAPPORT DE L'observateur INDEPENDANT No. 066 / OI
    Observateur Indépendant au Contrôle et Suivi des Infractions Forestières B.P. 11317 Tel/Fax: (237) 220 10 92 Yaoundé - Cameroun RAPPORT DE L’OBSERVATEUR INDEPENDANT No. 066 / OI / REM Mission conjointe BNC – Observateur Indépendant Titre : Aucun Localisation : Département du Mbam et Kim Dates de la mission : 11, 19 et 20 avril 2007 Société : SOFATEF Équipe Observateur Indépendant : Dr. Albert Barume, Chef d’équipe M. Guy Huot, Ing. F. M. Serge Christian Moukouri, IEF MINFOF : M. Medjo Frédéric Roger, BNC, Chef de mission M. Woambe Alfred, BNC M. Njoya Martin, BNC Observateur Indépendant – Forêts RESUME EXECUTIF L’Observateur Indépendant a effectué une mission conjointe de contrôle avec la Brigade Nationale de Contrôle (BNC) dans le département du Mbam et Kim. La mission s’est déroulée les 11, 19 et 20 avril 2007 et rentrait dans le cadre de la mise en oeuvre du programme mensuel des missions conjointes élaboré par l’Observateur Indépendant et la Brigade Nationale de Contrôle. La principale observation qui se dégage des activités effectuées sur le terrain est que les forêts avoisinants certains villages des arrondissements de Ntui et Ngoro sont affectées par une importantes activité de sciage artisanal. Un grand stock de débités, dont certains étaient déjà chargés sur plateau, a été saisi dans la localité de Yassem, à une cinquantaine de kilomètres de Ngoro. Lorsque les résultats de cette mission sont comparés à ceux des missions qui l’ont précédée dans d’autres localités du département du Mbam et Kim, il semble que ce département soit un foyer majeur du sciage artisanal dans la province du Centre.
