But the illicit trafficking of cultural property has not stopped. On the contrary. Traffickers of cultural goods have taken advantage of reduced security at archaeological sites and museums to engage in illegal excavations and thefts, with impunity. n The figures prove it: the attraction for mosaics, funerary urns, sculptures, statuettes, or ancient manuscripts has never been greater. The pressure of this demand has helped fuel the illegal market in artworks and antiquities, which now operates largely online – via platforms that often pay scant attention to the original provenance of the objects. n The UNESCO Courier, the flagship UNESCO magazine since 1948 is a platform for the dialogue between cultures and a forum for international debate.

  • Dja Faunal Reserve Cameroon
    DJA FAUNAL RESERVE CAMEROON This is one of the largest and best-protected rainforests in Africa, almost completely surrounded by the Dja river which forms its boundary. 90% of its area is still undisturbed. It is one of IUCN’s fifteen critical zones for the conservation of central African biodiversity and as a result of its inaccessibility, its transitional climate, floristic diversity and borderline location retains a rich vertebrate fauna with 109 species of mammals and a wide variety of primates. Threats to the site: Inadequate management has resulted in erosion of biodiversity, a growth of forest exploitation, agricultural clearance and potential pollution from a cobalt mine. COUNTRY Cameroon NAME Dja Faunal Reserve (La Réserve de Faune du Dja) NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE 1987: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria ix and x. INTERNATIONAL DESIGNATION 1981: Designated a Biosphere Reserve under the UNESCO Man & Biosphere Programme (526,000 ha). IUCN MANAGEMENT CATEGOCATEGORYRYRYRY VI: Managed Resource Protected Area BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE Congo Rain Forest (3.2.1) GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION On and nearly surrounded by the Dja River in the Centre-Sud and Est Provinces of Cameroon, 243 km south-east of the capital, Yaoundé, and 5 km west of Lomié. The river forms a natural boundary except to the northeast. Coordinates: 2 °49'-3°23'N, 12 °25'-13 °35'E. DATES AND HISTORY OF ESTABLISHMENT 1932: The area received some protection. In 1947 certain species within Dja were protected by Decree 2254 which regulated hunting in the French African territories; 1950: Protected as a Réserve de Faune et de Chasse by Arrêté 75/50; 1973: Protected as a Réserve de Faune (623,619 ha) under National Forestry Act Ordinance 73/18.

    WORLD KERlTAGE NOMINATION -- IUCN SUMMARY 4071 DJA FAUNAL RESERVE (CAMERON) Summary prepared by IUCN (April 1987) based on the original nomination submitted by Cameroon. This original and all documents presented in support of this nomination will be available for consultation at the meetings of the Bureau and the Committee. 1. LOCATION, On the Dja River in the Central-Southern and Eastern Provinces of Cameroon, 243km south-east of Yaoundg, and 5km west of Lomie. 2'49'-3'23'N, 12'25'-13'35'E. 2. JURIDICAL DATA: Protected as a 'rgserve de faune et de chasse' in 1950, and then as a IrEserve de faune' under the National Forestry Act Ordinance 1973. Accepted as a Biosphere Reserve in 1981. Proposed as a National Park. Asea is 526,000 ha. 3. IDENTIFICATIONI The Dja reserve is virtually encircled by the Dja River which flows west along the long northern boundary of the reserve, and then along the southern boundary, before flowing southeast as a tributary to the Congo. Cliffs run along the course of the river in the south for some 6Okm, and are associated with a section of the river broken up by rapids and waterfalls. Except in the south-east of the reserve, the relief is fairly flat and consists of a succession of round-topped hills. The vegetation mainly comprises dense evergreen Congo rainforest with a main canopy at 30-40m rising to 60m. Some 43 species of tree form the canopy, with legumes being particulary common. The area is known to have a wide range of primate species including lowland gorilla, greater white-nosed guenon, moustached guenon, crowned guenon, talapoin, white-collared mangabey, white-cheeked mangabey, agile mangabey, drill, mandrill, potto, Demdorff's galago, black and white colobus monkey and chimpanzee.
