strategic environmental planning and protected areas in Cameroon

The book "Strategic Environmental Planning and Protected Areas in Cameroon" offers a comprehensive analysis of the protected areas established by the Cameroonian government, aimed at the conservation and sustainable development of natural resources. It highlights the various categories of protected areas and the challenges arising from the neglect of traditional land use rights of local communities. This disregard often leads to conflicts between humans and wildlife, including bushfires and poaching. The work proposes improved management strategies for protected areas and emphasizes the benefits that such management brings. Additionally, it addresses the legal frameworks from 1994 and 1996 designed to protect biodiversity in Cameroon. The book is of great value to both professionals and students in forestry and wildlife management, as it provides informative insights and practical suggestions for improving the management of protected areas.
