The Rainforests of Cameroon - PROFOR

110 The Rainforests of Cameroon10. WWF used a metric known as “protected area management effectiveness”(PAME) and scored each area using the PAME TrackingTool, which is based on 30 indicators that provide a comprehensiveassessment of management effectiveness. The tool, developed jointlyby WWF and the World Bank, is consistent with management effectivenessrecommendations of the World Commission on ProtectedAreas and with the Global Environment Facility’s monitoring andevaluation policies.11. The 14 other UFAs were allocated in 2005 and 2006 and are stillunder the provisional management convention.12. This figure is consistent with the 6 million hectares of productionforest where harvesting rights have been granted, an average harvestvolume of 10 cubic meters per hectare, and a 30-year felling cycle(which would yield 2 million cubic meters). The 500,000 cubicmeter difference supposedly comes from ventes de coupe, communityforests, and small titles.13. Small titles were suspended by a Ministerial Decision from 1999 to2006.14. Studies of harvesting intensity have also indicated that it is very locationspecific, depending on such factors as concession holders’ habitsand markets or the distance to ports and local markets. The situationof a rich, intensively managed UFA with harvests of 20 cubic metersper hectare (including 55 percent sapelli and 29 percent tali) differsvery significantly from a community forest providing 30 cubicmeters per hectare of annual coupe to a local urban market.15. With the exception of a handful of experienced wood processors,such as Alpicam and ECAM-Placages.16. This figure does not include the additional capacity of mobile (LucasMill) sawmills, estimated at about 300,000 cubic meters (Fochivé2005).17. The CERNA-ONFI-ERE development study (Abt and others 2002)estimated a supply gap of 1.2 million cubic meters.18. The estimated processing capacity is 2.3 million cubic meters.
