Time series analysis of remote sensing images of vegetation cover change in the Faro-Bénoué-Bouba Ndjidda ecological landscape, north region of Cameroon
The Faro-Bénoué-Bouba Ndjidda ecological landscape in the north region of Cameroon consists of a vast network of protected areas with multiple potentials that contribute to the economic and social development of the local populations. Because of all its potentials,...
Community forestry in Cameroon: Insights on state institutional deficits
Community forestry (CF) was set-up in Cameroon about 20 years ago to enable better environmental, economic, and social benefits for communities. Since then, 430 community forests have been attributed, covering an area of almost 1.7M ha. However, less than a quarter...

Spatial distribution of rattan and indigenous perspectives vis-à-vis the growth rate of economically important rattan species in Cameroon: Sustainability and policy implications
Rattan is an important Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) with huge potential to boost socio-economic development in indigenous communities of Cameroon in particular and the entire country in general. Rattan is mainly harvested from the wild, with no involvement of...
Plan d’Adaptation au Changement Climatique du Complexe transfrontalier WAP W-Arly-Pendjari (Bénin – Burkina Faso – Niger)
Dans les zones arides, le changement climatique et la désertification devraient entraîner des réductions de la productivité des cultures et du bétail, modifier des espèces végétales et réduire la biodiversité. Il est également indiqué que les populations des zones...
Analysis of the exploitation of NTFPs and their contribution to the well-being of households around the Belabo-Doume-Diang intercommunal massif
In the East region of Cameroon, forest resources are composed of Woody and Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs). These NTFPs have long been a source of food, medicine, construction tools and ornaments. The lack of information to assess the current and potential...
Farm Rejuvenation-Induced Changes in Tree Spatial Pattern and Live Biomass Species of Cocoa Agroforests in Central Cameroon: Insights for Tree Conservation Incentives in Cocoa Landscapes
Cocoa agroforests sustain ecosystem services (ESs) to varying degrees. These services are otherwise mostly provided by other non-cocoa shade or companion trees. However, the density of shade trees is associated with services and/or disservices that drive farm-specific...
Bamboo Biomass: A Strategy for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, and Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) in Cameroon
Studies suggest that bamboo is an excellent biological resource with the capacity to sequester and stock carbon while providing direct and indirect services that support human well-being. Cameroon, despite having a huge bamboo potential, has not benefited from these...
Bamboo-Based Forest Landscape Restoration: Practical Lessons and Initiatives to Upscale in Africa
Studies suggest that the restoration of degraded land through planting bamboo could be a viable strategy for forest landscape restoration. As part of more extensive landscape restoration, planting bamboo in degraded and marginal landscapes have the potential to...
