D1une part les nouvelles cartes de 1'1 G N à 1/200,000e : Edéa, Kribi - Piyabcssan, Fbuanko, ont permis une locdisation plus précise des villages..D1autre part le recensement utilisé est celui de 1966-67 qui accuse généralement une 'oaisse de population par rapport au précédent. Il est difficile de savoir si cetLe baisse traduit la réalité, ou est le résultat d'une souseestimation, ou rectifie une mm-est imat i on antérieure. Les informations concei?nant l'infrastructure et les équipements écono- miques et sociaux ont été recueillies sur place auprès des autorités administra- tives avec la collaboration de H. ELINGUI et Ao IIIYA, aides-géographe, Depuis la rédaction de ce dictionnaire la piste Kribi - Campo est devenue route carrossa'ole. Nous serions reconnaissant aux utilisateurs de nous signaler les &en- tuelles erreurs ou omissions qulils pourraient relever dans ce dictionnaire, A F.tiPJJQUEVI Section de Géographie 1 NOTE SUR LE! REPERBGE DES VILLAGEX Le Dictionnaire donne pour chaque village sa position géographique c*est&ire sa distance par rapport à ltEquateur (parallèle) et sa distance par rapport au méridien de Greenwich (méridien). Ces deux lignes, parallèle et méridien, constituent les coordonnées latitude et longitude) et leur intersection définit avec précision l'emplacement exact du village. Rappelons que l'ensemble du Cameroun se trouve à lqEet du méridien de Greenwich et au Nord de lt%uateur. Les coordonnées sont exprimées- en degrés : la distance unitaire- entre deux parallè- les (ou deux méridiens) est de un degré (10) soit approximativement 110 km. Chaque degré est divisé en 60 minutes (60'). Pour retrouver sur la carte l'emplacement d'un village, on lit d'abord sur le dictionnaire le nom de la carte, Nous avons utilisé pour le KRIBI les cartes suivantes, éditées p$r le Service Géographique de Yaoundé (Annexe 1 .G$J.) r Cartes au 1/200.000 : Elouanko (Ancien ~ondji) Edéa Kribi Nyabessan Cartes au 1/50.000 t Yaoundé 1 a 81 1b Chaque carte est désignée par le nom de la localité la plus importante. On trouvera dans l'encadreïnent de chaque carte une Qclielle graphique permettant de lire facilement les coordonnées, horizontdes et verticales ., . que l'on cherche. Exemple : Chercher le village ABIETE (PIKOM II). r On lit sur le dictionnaire s Posit : Pdér : 10° 30' Par : S0 55' Carte : bibi Nyabessan, On prend donc la carte au 1/200.000e Kribi Nyabessan. Le cadre de la carte porte les indications des méridiens et parallèles (de 10 en 10 minutes sur le 1/200.000o).0n détermine par simple lecture le grand carré dans lequel se trouve ce village ; pour ABIETE, entre les méridiens (lignes verticales) 100 30' et 11°, et entre les parallèles (lignes horizontales) 2O 50' et S0 60'. Une opération très simple permet alors de déterminer la position exacte du village : il suffit de compter sur le cadre le nombre de divisions correspon- dant awr minutes.

Hydrology, erosion and nutrient cycling in a forest ecosystem in South Cameroon. The Tropenbos-Cameroon Programme, Kribi. Tropenbos-Cameroon Documents 10, XVIII + 60 pp.; 32 fig.; 9 tab.; 68 ref.; 0 Annexes Rainfall, water and sediment yields were measured and the evaporation quantified in three catchments (2.7-7.7 km2) covered with undisturbed rain forest, selectively logged forest and forest - shifting cultivation. The nutrient balance in the hydrological cycle was also quantified in an undisturbed forest area. Annual evaporation rates were similar in spite of the differences between land uses in the areas and in the regional variation in annual rainfall. On the other hand, the sediment yield depended strongly on the land uses practices. The results of the study of the nutrient budget in four compartments in the hydrological cycle showed that the throughfall and litter percolate constitute the main store of nutrients in the water cycle. In spite of the low nutrient input by rainfall, the losses by the outflow are low; this pattern has been described as an auto-sustained rainforest ecosystem. Keywords: catchment hydrology, undisturbed forest, selective logging, shifting cultivation, water yield, sediment yield, nutrient cycling, nutrient balance, Cameroon.

  • Choice of Suitable Regional and Residual Gravity Maps, the Case of the South-West Cameroon Zone
    Earth and Planetary Physics RESEARCH ARTICLE 3: 26–32, 2019 SOLID EARTH: GEODESY AND GRAVITY doi: 10.26464/epp2019004 Choice of suitable regional and residual gravity maps, the case of the South-West Cameroon zone Fidèle Koumetio1*, Donatien Njomo2, Constant Tatchum Noutchogwe3, Eric Ndoh Ndikum4, Sévérin Nguiya5, and Alain-Pierre Kamga Tokam2 1Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Dschang, PO Box 67 Dschang, Cameroon; 2Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Yaounde I, Cameroon; 3Department of Physics, ENS Bambili, University of Bamenda, Cameroon; 4Department of Fundamental Sciences, H.T.T.T.C. Bambili-Bamenda, University of Bamenda, Cameroon; 5Department of Physics, Faculty of Genial Engineering, University of Douala, Cameroon Abstract: The quantitative interpretation of gravity anomalies due to shallow structures needs separation between long wavelength anomalies (regional anomalies) and short wavelength anomalies (residual anomalies). The regional-residual field separation can be carried out using the polynomial method. In this case, the so-called regional field of order n is treated as a polynomial of degree n. The present study shows that the degree n must vary between a smallest value nmin and a maximum value nmax. This article presents a method to process gravity data that allows determination of nmin and nmax for a given study area. We apply the method to gravity data of the South-West Cameroon zone. In this chosen study area, we find that regional anomaly maps of orders ranging from 1 to 9 and residual anomaly maps of orders ranging from 1 to 8 can be used for suitable interpretation. The analyses show that one may need residual anomaly maps of several orders to perform satisfactory quantitative interpretation of the different intrusive bodies found in a given area.

  • The Complaint Relates to the Chad-Cameroon Oil and Pipeline Project, Approved in June 2000 by the World Bank’S Board of Administration
    PUBLIC VERSION OF THE COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE COMPLIANCE ADVISOR/OMBUDSMAN (CAO) The complaint relates to the Chad-Cameroon oil and pipeline project, approved in June 2000 by the World Bank’s Board of Administration. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) contributed to the funding of this project. This complaint is being filed on behalf of scores of farmers and communities on the Cameroon side of the Chad-Cameroon oil pipeline route who wished to remain anonymous. All the complainants were adversely affected in a variety of ways by the project, either during construction or operation. To date, adequate compensation has not been provided for these adverse effects. The effects outlined below are merely illustrative of the problems encountered by these communities, and the complaint can in no way be considered limited to these problems. Description of Some of the Problems Encountered by Communities Living Close to the Project 1. The Spread of HIV/AIDS After the Laying of the Pipeline In virtually all the regions along the Chad-Cameroon pipeline route, numerous cases of HIV/AIDS have been recorded. The awareness-building campaigns organized by COTCO and the Cameroonian Government from time to time have proven both belated and inadequate. In a town situated along the pipeline route for example, women were living in the workers’ camp quarters, a situation that pointed to lax preventive measures. A similar situation existed with several young girls in villages located in the immediate vicinity of the pipeline project. This negligence has led to a rise in prostitution in these regions. A young woman who once worked as a waitress in a bar in the workers’ camp in a community close to the pipeline considers herself a victim of the ineffective awareness-building campaign – she contracted HIV while living at the company’s base.

  • The Kribi Deep Sea Port Creation As a Catalyst to Population Mobility and Development
    International Journal of Development and Sustainability ISSN: 2186-8662 – www.isdsnet.com/ijds Volume 7 Number 4 (2018): Pages 1273-1285 ISDS Article ID: IJDS18032002 The Kribi deep sea port creation as a catalyst to population mobility and development Tende Renz Tichafogwe 1*, Fogwe Zephania Nji 2 1 Department of Geography, The University of Yaounde, Yaounde, Cameroon 2 Department of Geography and Planning, The University of Bamenda, Bamenda, Cameroon Abstract Portal towns have been a major determinant of population mobility and trickle-down development in their backyards in most developing countries. This paper examines the population dynamics and development spill overs of sea port construction to their host town. The Kribi Deep Sea Port is triggered by the visions 2035 philosophy/futurist paradigm of the Cameroonian government. This paper posits how the creation of the deep sea port has stimulated in-migration and development in Kribi. The study connotes how the concept of urban attractiveness enables this emerging town to draw onto it a wage earning population. Field observations in Kribi town and the port site were made once, every month for six months during which 86 inhabitants, the local and administrative authorities and port technicians were interviewed. Extensive secondary source research was as well used to obtain results. Findings revealed that the Kribi Deep Sea Port has led to a rapid population upsurge of 250% increase in 26 years as the population moved from 40,706 inhabitants in 1987 to 93,246 in 2005 and 102,000 in 2013. This growth has also fostered the development of the infrastructure of Kribi with a new urban town on 26000 hectares of land, an improved transport network and a host of industries.

    THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS IN THE BIPINDI-AKOM II REGION OF SOUTH CAMEROON internal report (not for citation without prior consent of the publisher) Ntenwu Te rence Noah Mugwachu September, 2000 i DEDICATION This report is dedicated to my spiritual father Mr. Awemo Cornelius (RIP). He inspired me most. “We are dust and on to dust we shall return”. “God gave, God has taken back, Blessed be the name of the Lord”. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The present report is the result of a study on exploitation and management of a selected set of six Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in the tropical rain forest of South Cameroon. It was part of the research project “The role of community institutions in the management of NTFPs in Cameroon” and carried out within the framework of the Central African Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) with support of the Biodiversity Support program (BSP), a consortium of World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy and World Resources Institute, with funding of the United State Agency for International Development (USAID). The project was implemented by the Tropenbos Foundation with logistical assistance of the Tropenbos Cameroon Programme (TCP) in collaboration with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the ECOFAC project. None of the above mentioned organizations bear responsibility for the research findings, which are the authors’ own. Before presenting this report, I would first like to express my profound gratitude to those who have contributed in one way or the other towards its realisation.
