4.3 CONCLUDING STATEMENT From the foregoing, it is evident that Cameroon’s implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity has made a positive impact towards achieving the objectives of the Convention in Cameroon. This is seen from the following observations: 4.3.1 ON CONSERVATION: National policies and legislations of all biodiversity-related and thematic programmes are regulated nationally and are backed by appropriate policies, laws and institutions. o Land under protected area management rose from 3.482.741 ha in 200 to 5.377.832 ha in 2008 such that today about 30% of the national territory is under protected area management including 8.138,880 ha managed under “Safari Hunting”, (Table 6). o The tree-planting programme: “Sahel Vert” and “Operation One Billion Trees” Programmes are all in progress. o Agriculture, Aquaculture, livestock extensions services as evidenced by the domestication of fish, animals and plant species are measures taken towards biodiversity conservation throughout the national territory.( see also Section 2.2.1, Table 37). 4.3.2 ON SUSTAINABLE USE OF BIODIVERSITY Stake-holders including rural dwellers that use and work with biodiversity have been regularly sensitized on the importance and the need for sustainable use of biodiversity products. This is shown by: o Information on various uses of biodiversity for food, medicine shelter, music, tradition, etc o Measures taken to avoid pre and post harvest losses. o Use of the land classification System (Plan de Zonage ) since 1995. o Resource exploitation based on the quota system e.g. forest exploitation is now based on the “ ufa “system; o Fishery is based on the FAO Code of responsible Fishing. o No policy/programme on biodiversity 4.3.3 ON FAIR AND EQUITABLE UTILISATION OF GENETIC RESOURCES o Various laws on biodiversity have been revised with emphasis on access to resources and benefit-sharing. o Finance laws on council and communal royalties – the councils of the Eastern Province and of some areas in Manyu, South West Province have been receiving huge sums of monies as the forest royalties for the forest resources exploited in their areas. o Access and Benefit Sharing modalities have been laid down to take care of bioprospecting activities throughout Cameroon. 81
