Certification and wildlife in commercial forests

by Ngodo Melingui, Jean Baptiste
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9786209564840

A source of income for some and a biological reserve for others, Cameroon's commercial forests are the subject of fierce competition over access rights and the exploitation of their wildlife resources, despite the introduction of a legal framework tailored to the context of sustainable management. This book outlines the efforts made in forest management in Cameroon since the Act of 20 January 1994 and subsequent legislation, and in particular its limitations regarding the protection of wildlife. It aims to clarify the specific requirements for managing this wildlife in line with changes introduced by certification. It highlights the contributions of private certification as a tool for promoting forest management, and above all for the protection of wildlife in production forests. A fundamental idea runs through the entire book: the weakness of the State's contribution to its sovereign duties of monitoring and controlling the management of wildlife resources in particular. Hopes are currently pinned on FLEGT, a government certification scheme, to complement private certification for the sustainable protection of wildlife.

Forest Monitoring, 12
<p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
