Large Mammals of Takamanda Forest Reserve, Cameroon 1 Introduction Jacqueline L. Sunderland-Groves and Fiona Maisels Until recently, information regarding the fauna of Takamanda Forest Reserve (TFR) was, at best, fragmentary (Allen 1930, Sanderson 1940, Struhsaker 1967, Critchley 1968). No survey had been carried out in the Takamanda area since 1987 (Thomas 1988). Due to the lack of available information, Sanderson’s specimen collections from areas surrounding Takamanda, housed in the British Museum of Natural History, provided the basis for a faunal checklist (Appendix 1). Fifty years later, Thomas (1988) confirmed the continued existence of 11 species of large mammals in the area reported by Sanderson. Before the start of the 1998 survey, the Sanderson 1934 collection, consisting of all dry skin specimens except ungulates and bats, was examined and verified (Dowsett 1997). The major objectives of the 1998 study were to assess the current status of and threats to the population of the Critically Endangered (IUCN 2002) Cross River Gorilla Gorilla gorilla diehli. In addition, status of and threats to other large mammals in the Reserve were investigated: several large mammal species or subspecies were known to be endemic to the region, including chimpanzee Pan troglodytes vellerosus, drill Mandrillus leucophaeus, Preuss’s guenon Cercopithecus preussi, and red eared guenon Cercopithecus erythrotis. In the forests of Central and West Africa, hunting for meat is of increasing concern and is the major cause of ape decline (Walsh et al. 2003) and of other large mammal decline in general (Fa et al. 2002). Hunting is facilitated by increased access made possible by the construction of logging roads (Minnemeyer et al. 2002, Wilkie et al. 2000). In the Bamenda Highlands just east of the Takamanda area, most species of large mammals have been locally extirpated within the last century (Maisels et al. 2001). A commercial road is currently being built in the Takamanda area between the towns of Mamfe and Akwaya (Sunderland-Groves et al. this volume). When complete, the road will cut directly between the Takamanda forest and the Mone and Mbulu forests, allowing ready access to the forests and, subsequently, increased export of agricultural and forest products, including bushmeat. Although development projects such as roads are important for the local human population, increased accessibility to the area will undoubtedly affect the future survival of wildlife populations unless strict measures are taken to protect the animals. Following the 1998 survey, emphasis was placed on working with local communities and the Cameroon Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MINEF) to protect wildlife populations. Education materials were disseminated to increase conservation awareness and promote Cameroon’s laws concerning illegal hunting of protected species. 2 Methods 2.1 Field methods Chapter 8 In Takamanda Forest Reserve, two primary vegetation strata—lowland forest, including riverine forest, and submontane forest, encompassing ridge or “highland” forest—were identified and surveyed, using the stratified random sampling technique. Within these strata, two lowland sites were sampled: Oyi on the edge of the Reserve and Makone in the center of the Reserve. Variation in sites was meant to reflect predicted differences in hunting pressure, where we presumed areas on the edge of the reserve would be subject to more SI/MAB Series #8, 2003, Pages 111 to 127
