CHAPTER II CURRENT STATUS OF NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN 2.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NBSAP The objectives of the NBSAP were to provide analysis of the status and trends in Cameroon biodiversity, examine its problems and then make proposals on the strategies and actions for addressing the problems. The NBSAP was based on the “Ecosystem Approach” and the following six ecosystems were retained: 1. Marine and Coastal 4. Semi Arid 2. Tropical Humid Dense Forest 5. Montane 3. Tropical Woodland Savannah 6. Fresh Water There are five main sections namely: a) The background and rational including the methodologies used in developing the NBSAP. b) Section II describes the current status of biodiversity in Cameroon c) Section III is the Problem Analysis d) Section IV contains the National Strategy, Cameroon’s vision and the guiding principles, strategic goals including specific objectives. e) Section V is the Action Plan which spells out specific actions to be undertaken in each ecosystem and the monitoring and evaluating system. The Action Plan contains a total of 28 objectives and 228 actions in all the ecosystem. There are executors and partners for every action, (Table 34). 2.1.1 PRIORITY ACTIVITIES Important activities were prioritized in the NBSAP document. Within all the ecosystems, some activities were given VHP, HP and were expected to be executed within a specific period followed by a corresponding monitoring programme. In Table-35 VHP objectives with their corresponding actions (only numbers – see NBSAP document) are given in this report for the sake of the brevity. 48
