Agro-industrial establishments habitually renew crop habitats though replanting, combating pests and diseases and the use of fertilizes to improve habitat conditions About 11% of national territory is under P.A. management – Forest reserves, National Parks, Animal Sanctuaries (Table 6) - CEMAC countries signed the “Yaounde Declaration” on the conservation of the Tropical forest of the Congo Basin. - Chad Basin Commission Creation and maintenance of sacred forests - For cultural practices - For traditional practices - Setting up of National Observatory for Climate Change (President Biya’s proposal and appeal to the UN General Assembly, 2008) - Creation of Sub Department of Monitoring MINEP Most of the activities in forestry, wildlife, agriculture and environment have been subjects of regular radio and TV programmes on main country TV and radio stations. Government endeavours to be party to the international agreements related to biodiversity – CBD Mostly in the Tropical Woodland Savanna Ecosystem e.g. - ANAFOR national regeneration campaign had in August 2008 21451 nursery seedlings for the dry savanna region - 106000 seedlings in seven nurseries for Maroua Kaélé, Mokolo, Kouseri, Yagoua, Maga and Garoua (MINFOF 2008) Plantations of CDC, HEVECAM, PAMOL, SODECOTTON, SODERIX In Tropical Humid Forests, In Tropical woodland savanna, In Montane ecosystem In tropical Humid forest Tropical woodland savannah Fresh Water Ecosystem. - Nation wide - Traditional healers Found on diplomatic and policy statements MINEP planning Information is diffused nationawide CBD, UNFCCC, UNCLOS, UNCCD, Ramsar and others. International Cooperation: The following practical measures are going on in Cameroon to improve and protect biodiversity-rich areas. Examples of some of the many areas are around protected areas (Table 11). Implementation of most conventions is done through projects with the technical and financial assistance of international NGO’s in Cameroon aimed at recovering threatened habitats. 14

Source: Compiled from Ministerial reports 1.1.2.6.1 PROTECTED AREAS In Cameroon, there are six categories of Protected Areas. These are National Parks, Zoological Gardens, Wildlife Sanctuaries, Fauna Reserves, Safari Hunting zones, Community Management Hunting Zones. To this, IUCN categories of protected areas should be added, forest reserves, sacred forests, botanical gardens. Table 6 summarizes the situation of protected areas in Cameroon. Up to 2008, total area under protection has been estimated to cover about 13.5million hectares which amount to 30% of the national territory. This includes the 18 % which is under safari hunting zones. Protected areas actually cover 11 % of the national territory. Between 1996 and 2008 considerable conservation measures were taken to add 1.164.842ha (2.38%) to the existing Protected Areas coverage. Protected Areas creation, recovery and management have been used as habitat recovery measures. Several new protected areas have been created to compensate portions of protected areas which have been lost to the population. This is the case with Ejagham Forest Reserve in Manyu Division in the South West Province. 15
