182 Sunderland-Groves et al. Mone Forest Reserve and Mbulu forest. Funded by Wildlife Conservation Society’s Africa Program, this program records baseline data, incorporates a conservation/education component, collaborates with the Cameroonian government through the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MINEF) and the GTZ collaborative project PROFA to support the enforcement of national wildlife laws. An immediate impact of these efforts has been implementation of a community-led local ban on hunting for gorillas, chimpanzees, and drills. At the present time, this program is working with PROFA to assess the potential of upgrading the protective status—possibly to “wildlilfe sanctuary”—of TFR and Mone Forest Reserve and to provide a degree of future protection for the Mbulu forest, which currently enjoys no formal protected area status. With regard to the future of the MINEF/GTZ project PROFA in Takamanda and Mone, the aims are as follows: Takamanda Forest Reserve • Undertake a review of the current protection area status of TFR according to available, and appropriate, levels of protection under Cameroon’s 1994 forestry law. • Complete the long-term management plan for TFR, with participation from stakeholders, for approval from the governments of Cameroon and Germany, to be followed by implementation of the plan. • Initiate (beginning in 2004) a comprehensive “village development program” to encourage the inhabitants of the area to commence economic activities that do not cause over-exploitation of forest resources. A possible component of this program will be to compensate hunters for lost income if they forego earnings obtained from the sale of bushmeat. • Continue the monitoring program for vegetation, large mammals—with special emphasis on gorillas—and monitoring of other priority taxonomic groups as appropriate given available resources. . Takamanda: the Biodiversity of an African Rainforest Mone Forest Reserve • Most immediate, demarcate the Reserve’s boundary. • Initiate baseline biological and socio-economic data collection. • Complete a management plan, with participation from stakeholders, for approval from the governments of Cameroon and Germany to be followed by implementation of the plan. • Initiate a monitoring program for vegetation and large mammals to provide comparative information to that for TFR. The process followed by the various teams conducting assessments in TFR, as described in this volume, was highly successful in providing baseline biological information for conservation management. This model can easily be replicated at a relatively low cost spread over various conservation and funding organizations to conduct similar biodiversity assessments in other areas of Cameroon and Central and West Africa—particularly in areas that are known to be rich in biotic resources but for which limited information is available. Multi-stakeholder, multi-taxonomic assessments are an important first step in defining conservation priorities and potential management solutions. References Oates, J. F. 1999.
