1 Introduction Fisheries in the Southern Border Zone of Takamanda Forest Reserve, Cameroon Marina Mdaihli, Tim du Feu, and Julius S. O. Ayeni The Cameroonian–German (GTZ) Project for the Protection of Forests Around Akwaya (PROFA) collaborates with local communities and authorities to achieve community-based conservation 1 . This approach aims to maintain the biological diversity of Takamanda Forest Reserve (TFR) and improve the forest-based living conditions of local peoples. In the course of collecting baseline data for planning sustainable resource use in TFR, fishing was found to contribute as much as game hunting to consumption and the trading economy of villages within and around the Reserve (du Feu 2002). Yet, forest managers concentrate on the generation of revenue from timber and wildlife harvests. Within the context of formulating a sustainable management plan for TFR, it therefore was necessary to provide baseline scientific information on fish biology and on the economic benefits of fisheries in the TFR area. This paper reports on fisheries of the southern border zone of the Reserve, based on a fisheries baseline study undertaken from 23 October-3 December, 2000, under commission by PROFA. Information from the study and baseline socio-ecological data (Ayeni and Mdaihli 2001, 1 Community-based conservation attempts to move the responsibility for natural resource management from the elite to the rural poor and from the urban to the village hamlets. This approach is focused on the people who live with and directly bear the costs of natural resource conservation. It enables local people to define their own priorities and develop at their own pace and in their own way—gaining knowledge and skills as they go (Uphoff 1985). In an ideal situation, community-based conservation arises within a community rather than being imposed through a top-down external force. Schmidt-Soltau 2001) are being used to draft a participatory plan for sustainable management of TFR forests. 1.1 PROFA PROFA is administered by the Divisional Delegation for Environment and Forests (Manyu Division at Mamfe), an agency of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in Yaoundé. The overall goal during the first phase of the PROFA (March 2000 to February 2003) was to develop a management plan that ensures the maintenance of biodiversity in TFR and contributes to improvement of living conditions for people within the Reserve’s border zones. A positive outcome of the first phase will enable expansion of the project to cover the nearby Mone Forest Reserve and extension of the timeframe to 12 years (three-year orientation, eight-year implementation phase, and a “handing over” phase of one year). The following are the anticipated project outputs: • Draft forest management plan for TFR, partially tested. • Participatory forest management capacity of local populations and the Divisional Delegation is strengthened through cooperation among all involved parties. • Traditional income-generating activities and selfhelp initiatives are identified, and a gender-sensitive strategy for sustainable resource management is developed and tested. 2 Site description Chapter 10 The Reserve is situated at the northern most corner of Southwest Province, Cameroon, north of the Cross River SI/MAB Series #8, 2003, Pages 141 to 154
