SUMMARY The Western Congo Basin Moist Forest Ecoregion (WCBMFE) constitutes a large part of the tropical wilderness of Central Africa, the world’s second largest expanse of rainforest. Its globally important biodiversity faces, however, increasingly severe threats from commercial logging and mining, large-scale commercial hunting for wild meat and ivory, often using logging concession access roads. The Governments of Cameroon, Gabon and Congo, through the proposed interventions of this project seek to mitigate these threats while at the same time putting in place the long-term resource management and financing systems needed to achieve conservation objectives. The project would assist the three governments in designing and implementing a coherent land-use plan that designates protected areas, permanent forest and rural development areas, building the capacity to control 01_04_04 DRAFT PROJECT BRIEF TRIDOM UNDP/GEF 1 resource use, to monitor trends in biodiversity and ecosystem functions, through an effective law enforcement system, collaborative management schemes with the private sector and communities, including, in particular, indigenous people, and implementation of a cost-effective monitoring system. The project also seek to find ways to improve benefits for local communities through revenues generated from alternative livelihoods initiative to ease pressure on natural resource, and setting up a diversified sustainable financing scheme to cover the core management costs in TRIDOM, in particular cost related to law enforcement and protected area management. The current project will demonstrate an integrated approach to land-use planning and management that will be replicable and that will enhance and secure biodiversity conservation, promoting the conservation of the tropical forest values that have global significance. It is anticipated that at project comple tion, management structures and sustainable funding mechanisms will be in place to sustain project achievements in the long term and by interventions proposed to advance conservation in this globally significant part of the Congo Basin. 3.

  • 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.

  • Title SNARE HUNTING AMONG BAKA HUNTER- GATHERERS
    SNARE HUNTING AMONG BAKA HUNTER- Title GATHERERS : IMPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT Author(s) YASUOKA, Hirokazu African study monographs. Supplementary issue (2014), 49: Citation 115-136 Issue Date 2014-08 URL http://dx.doi.org/10.14989/189625 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University African Study Monographs, Suppl. 49: 115–136, August 2014 115 SNARE HUNTING AMONG BAKA HUNTER-GATHERERS: IMPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT Hirokazu YASUOKA Faculty of Humanity and Environment, Hosei University ABSTRACT Diversity in hunting methods has been reported among the Mbuti net hunters in Ituri in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, among the Baka hunters in southeastern Cameroon, who currently practice snare hunting as their principal method, and among other hunter-gatherers in central African forests. Although forest duikers are the main targets of all of these hunters, different species of duikers are captured by different methods. Blue duikers (Philantomba monticola) weighing about 4–5 kg comprise the majority of the Mbuti’s net-hunting harvests, whereas red duikers (in particular, Cephalophus callipygus and C. dorsalis) weighing about 15–20 kg are the major catch in Baka snare hunting. The density of duikers in each area is reflected in the rate of captures: the density of blue duikers is higher in the forests used by Mbuti net hunters, and red duikers are more abundant in the Baka area. Thus, it is likely that the relative abundance of each species is one of the major contributors to the selection of an efficient hunting method. Indeed, non-traditional methods may be selected as a result of adaptation to ecological conditions, the availability of hunting tools, and the changing role of hunting in the livelihoods of hunters.

  • Biodiversity in Central African Forests: an Overview of Knowledge, Main Challenges and Conservation Measures
    CHAPTER 3 BIODIVERSITY IN CENTRAL AFRICAN FORESTS: AN OVERVIEW OF KNOWLEDGE, MAIN CHALLENGES AND CONSERVATION MEASURES Alain Billand CIRAD Introduction As in previous State of the Forest (SOF) reports, the term biodiversity is defined here as “the variability among living organisms in the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the Central African forests”.

So much to capture within the Jengi landscape. We are always excited to share with you our stories. Jengi Newsletter, October 2018 Indigenous People WWF, 20 other NGOs and representatives of indigenous peoples have agreed to work in synergy to enhance access rights of Baka and Bagyeli people to protected areas in Southeast Cameroon. For this to be achieved, the NGOs agreed, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) initiated since 2006 between indigenous communities and conservation services of some protected areas, to secure their free access rights, has to be signed. The NGOs met in the town of Abong Mbang in the East Region of Cameroon in a bid to seek ways to accelerate the process for the signing of MoU and to extend the initiative to logging concessions and sports hunting zones. Participants including representatives of Baka and Bagyeli communities, © Ernest Sumelong / WWF WWF and RACOPY (Réseau Recherches Actions Concertées Pygmées) noted significant progress towards obtaining free access rights to natural resources for this vulnerable group. So far, WWF, working with local partners, initiated MoU processes that resulted in the signing of two agreements: one between Bagyelis and the conservation service of Campo Ma’an National Park and the other between Baka and the Ngoyla Wildlife Reserve. “Since the signing of the MoU we have greater access to natural resources in Campo Ma’an National Park,” says Jeanne Biloa, President of Bagyeli Cultural and Development Association (BACUDA).

    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.
