This project, which has been initiated to develop a 1 billion barrel hydrocarbon reserve within Chad, will result in the conveyance by pipeline of some 225 000 barrels per day of heavy crude oil through Cameroonian territory and its discharge at a marine terminal located within Cameroon’s coastal waters. Clearly, the issue of risk associated with potential pipeline product spills arises and, therefore, justifies the need for the NOSCP.

This document, presented as a second version of Cameroon’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP II) is the outcome of this process. The validation of NBSAP II demonstrates the recognition of Cameroons rich biodiversity as an invaluable natural asset for the wellbeing and development of its people, and the need to safeguard this asset. This document further consolidates the commitment of the Government within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity to develop a planning tool that translates into national reality, the global vision of living in harmony with nature where man benefits from biodiversity while ensuring an ecological sustainability. Over the last decade, Cameroon has invested great efforts to preserve its rich heritage. As an outcome, the trend in protected area management depicts an escalating increase beyond the set global target.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 3, 2019 Accepted: Fenruary 4, 2019 Online Published: May 30, 2019 doi:10.5539/jgg.v11n2p21 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jgg.v11n2p21 Abstract The flow direction of streams remains an establishing mechanism in understanding drainage basin function and stream competence. The ability of streams to erode, transport and deposit loads in fluvial geomorphology exert a benchmark precursor for slope dynamics given the differential geological outcrop of the Bamenda-Menchum basin. Such competence in stream network generates slope instability as materials continuously move down slope from the volcanic escarpment face of Bamenda highlands to the sedimentary lowland area of Lower Bafut-Menchum basin. This paper investigate the influence of stream flow direction and stream competence on slope dynamics and how such dynamism affects the development prospects of the drainage basin. Slope range was obtained from AVL/EBI.JHO measurement. Stream length, density and flow direction were gotten from GIS Arc 21. Stream depth, channel width, flow rate and sedimentation levels were measured. Gully depth on slopes and landslide angles were measured using 30m tape and a graduated pole. Questionnaires were used to collect information on the vulnerability of households to slope dynamics orchestrated by stream competence.

O. Box 812, Yaounde, Cameroon. Accepted 5 October, 2011 Myxosporidian parasites of Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758 from the Noun River at Kouoptamo and the Foumban fish ponds in west Cameroon, were investigated from May 2008 to June 2009. Out of 537 Tilapia (267 cultivated and 270 wild) examined, 64.8% (n=173) specimens from the fish farming and 61.1% (n=165) from the Noun River harbored Myxosporean parasites. A total of ten parasite species were found. Myxobolus kainjiae, Myxobolus sarigi were scarce in both study sites; Myxobolus Tilapiae, Myxobolus equatorialis scarce in Foumban and Kouoptamo, respectively. M. agolus, M. brachysporus, M. camerounensis, M. equatorialis, Myxobolus Heterosporus, Myxobolus israelensis were secondary in the two sites. M. Tilapiae, M. equatorialis appeared secondary in the Noun River and the fish ponds respectively. Myxosporean spores were most encountered in the kidney (61.3 and 49.0%, respectively in cultured and wild fish) and the spleen (50.5% in Foumban and 47.5% in Kouoptamo) but no host sex preference was found. In the Foumban fish farm site, high significant infection rate was observed for M.
