Nature and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED) Amount of Financing Requested: 9,982,000 (in U.S Dollars Equivalent) Summary Climate change induced hazards, such as erratic rainfall, droughts, flood, low vegetation coverage, decrease of agricultural productivity and reduced ecosystems services contribute to keeping rural communities in poverty and in particular women and young people. Ecosystems and land use services are predicted to decrease under the future climate change scenarios. Some of the most vulnerable communities living in and around protected areas in Cameroon are the most affected. These communities depend on ecosystems services and lack of alternatives climate resilient livelihoods, especially young people. Vulnerable poor communities living around protected areas face multiple challenges such as: low agricultural productivity, poverty and food insecurity

  • Aerial Surveys of Wildlife and Human Activity Across the Bouba N'djida
    Aerial Surveys of Wildlife and Human Activity Across the Bouba N’djida - Sena Oura - Benoue - Faro Landscape Northern Cameroon and Southwestern Chad April - May 2015 Paul Elkan, Roger Fotso, Chris Hamley, Soqui Mendiguetti, Paul Bour, Vailia Nguertou Alexandre, Iyah Ndjidda Emmanuel, Mbamba Jean Paul, Emmanuel Vounserbo, Etienne Bemadjim, Hensel Fopa Kueteyem and Kenmoe Georges Aime Wildlife Conservation Society Ministry of Forests and Wildlife (MINFOF) L'Ecole de Faune de Garoua Funded by the Great Elephant Census Paul G. Allen Foundation and WCS SUMMARY The Bouba N’djida - Sena Oura - Benoue - Faro Landscape is located in north Cameroon and extends into southwest Chad. It consists of Bouba N’djida, Sena Oura, Benoue and Faro National Parks, in addition to 25 safari hunting zones. Along with Zakouma NP in Chad and Waza NP in the Far North of Cameroon, the landscape represents one of the most important areas for savanna elephant conservation remaining in Central Africa. Aerial wildlife surveys in the landscape were first undertaken in 1977 by Van Lavieren and Esser (1979) focusing only on Bouba N’djida NP. They documented a population of 232 elephants in the park. After a long period with no systematic aerial surveys across the area, Omondi et al (2008) produced a minimum count of 525 elephants for the entire landscape. This included 450 that were counted in Bouba N’djida NP and its adjacent safari hunting zones. The survey also documented a high richness and abundance of other large mammals in the Bouba N’djida NP area, and to the southeast of Faro NP. In the period since 2010, a number of large-scale elephant poaching incidents have taken place in Bouba N’djida NP.

  • B133 Cameroon's Far North Reconstruction Amid Ongoing Conflict
    Cameroon’s Far North: Reconstruction amid Ongoing Conflict &ULVLV*URXS$IULFD%ULHILQJ1 1DLUREL%UXVVHOV2FWREHU7UDQVODWHGIURP)UHQFK I. Overview Cameroon has been officially at war with Boko Haram since May 2014. Despite a gradual lowering in the conflict’s intensity, which peaked in 2014-2015, the contin- uing violence, combined with the sharp rise in the number of suicide attacks between May and August 2017, are reminders that the jihadist movement is by no means a spent force. Since May 2014, 2,000 civilians and soldiers have been killed, in addition to the more than 1,000 people kidnapped in the Far North region. Between 1,500 and 2,100 members of Boko Haram have reportedly been killed following clashes with the Cameroonian defence forces and vigilante groups. The fight against Boko Haram has exacerbated the already-delicate economic situation for the four million inhabitants of this regionௗ–ௗthe poorest part of the country even before the outbreak of the conflict. Nevertheless, the local population’s adaptability and resilience give the Cameroonian government and the country’s international partners the opportunity to implement development policies that take account of the diversity and fluidity of the traditional economies of this border region between Nigeria and Chad. The Far North of Cameroon is a veritable crossroads of trading routes and cultures. Besides commerce, the local economy is based on agriculture, livestock farming, fishing, tourism, transportation of goods, handcrafts and hunting. The informal sector is strong, and contraband rife. Wealthy merchants and traditional chiefsௗ–ௗoften members of the ruling party and high-ranking civil servantsௗ–ௗare significant economic actors.

  • Conflict Report Lake Chad Basin
    CONFLICT REPORT www.cropmonitor.org CONFLICT REPORT www.cropmonitor.org Lake Chad Basin: Conflict and Food Insecurity Updated 13 August, 2020 Highlights • The population of the inner Lake Chad Basin is caught in a “conflict trap” of violence, poor governance, environmental volatility, and poverty, resulting in food insecurity and affecting the livelihoods of the 17.4 million people that live in the Lake Chad border regions within Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, and Chad. • In 2002, the jihadist terrorist organization commonly referred to as Boko Haram emerged in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state to protest corruption and inequality within the newly established democratic system and to promote the imposition of Sharia Law. • Violence perpetrated by armed opposition and counter- insurgency groups has hindered agricultural production, livelihood access, markets, trade, and humanitarian aid and has resulted in the displacement of 2.6 million people and acute food insecurity for 5 million people, as of January 2020. • The Lake Chad Basin regions most impacted by conflict in order of magnitude include northeastern Nigeria’s Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states combined, Cameroon’s Far North region, Niger’s Diffa region, and Chad’s Lac region (Figure 1). • Since the 1960s, the water body of Lake Chad has contracted 90 percent due to the effects of climate change, overuse, and unplanned irrigation. Water levels have stabilized over the past two decades. However, the area is subject to high variability in timing and magnitude of rainfall and temperature affecting Figure 1.

Accepted 18 March, 2010 Total aerial count of elephants, other large mammals and human activities in Waza National Park was conducted between 21st and 23rd February 2007. Total counts of elephants and other wildlife species were done and livestock numbers were estimated. A Cessna 206 Stationair six-seater aircraft fitted with GPS was used in navigation, recording survey paths and waypoints. A total of three different herds of 180 and 66 in the park along with a further 250 migrating elephant population towards Kalamaloue National Park were counted. The herds in the park were aggregated around central part of the park along watering point. The consideration of the number of the migrating herd then put the total Waza ecosystem elephant population at 496 individuals. The total number of carcasses recorded was 7 giving a carcass ratio of 2.85%. About 21,002 heads of livestock and over 50 farmlands and human settlement were estimated in the zone abutting the park. This signifies a high level of human pressures at the periphery and thus a high potential for loss of range for the elephants and illegal killing.

Methodology and Results: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted among 200 people drawn from four ethnic groups (Laka, Lamé, Peulh and Toupouri). This study has identified 107 plant species including 54 species food (vegetables, fruits and traditional drinks). The species Dioscorea bulbifera , Burnatia sp., Parkia biglobosa , Detarium microcarpum , Adansonia digitata, Vitellaria paradoxa , Ziziphus mauritiana , Ximenia americana and Vitex doniana were identified as major species of this town, due to their socio-economic importance. Plant parts used in the diet are descending fruits (53.70%), seeds (25.92%), leaves (22.22%), tubers (16.66%), the flowers (3.70%) and other (3.7%).Analyses on food uses indicates that 40 respondents use them as recipes involve fruits and 11 use them to prepare sauce.
