Acknowledgements The Waza Logone project is managed by IUCN - The World Conservation Union, through an agreement with the Government of Cameroon. Funding is provided principally by the Directorate- General for International Cooperation of the Netherlands (DGIS), while additional grants and inkind support were also received from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the European Commission and the Government of Cameroon. The Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV), the Centre for Environment and Development Studies in Cameroon (CEDC) and the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML) from the University of Leiden (UL) provided scientific and technical support. For IUCN, its government and NGO members, and the project partners, this book is an opportunity to thank all those who have supported, in many different ways, the Waza Logone project since its inception in the late 1980s. First and foremost, a heartfelt tribute must be paid to the commitment of all Waza Logone project personnel, especially staff of the Cellule d’Appui aux Initiatives de Développement (CACID), who have been responsible for implementing the project since 2000. We also gratefully acknowledge the dedication of those, often former project staff, who have taken a lead role in establishing the local NGOs (Association Camerounaise pour l’Education Environnementale - ACEEN, Association d’Appui aux Initiatives de Développement Rural - AIDR, Cellule de Formation et d’Appui aux Initiatives de Développement - CFAID) as part of the project’s progressive exit strategy. At provincial level, key institutions have been important in guiding the project through its successive phases. We are grateful to the provincial Governors, especially Governors Benoît Namvou, Seidou Mounchipou, Yene Essomba and Lazare Abate Abate, for their unfailing political support. Likewise, we wish to highlight the constant willingness of the successive regional Delegates for Environment and Forest to provide assistance. At central level, in the Ministry for Environment and Forest, Ministers Bava Djingoer, Mbede and Naah Ondoua have all monitored the progress made to restore the floodplain very closely. The strategic guidance received from Tchana Mesack, Ebwele Fils Leroy and Yadji Bello has helped the project to overcome many hurdles. At this point in time, CEDC, CML and IUCN also wish to acknowledge the huge contribution made by Dr Tutuwan, whose accidental and most untimely death has deprived us of his energy and vision for environmental conservation in Cameroon. Invaluable guidance was provided to the project by traditional authorities, in particular the Sultans, Lamidos and Lawans, who have always supported the restoration of the floodplain. Their assistance in fostering close relationships between the project and its key stakeholders, the people of the floodplain, is gratefully acknowledged. Irrespective of their institutional origins, the following people must be thanked for their unfailing interest in, and strategic contributions to, the implementation of the Waza Logone project. They are: Mike Acreman, Saleh Adam, Madi Ali, Michael Allen, Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend, Richard Braund, Jan Browers, Hans de Iongh, Marie-Laure de Noray, Hanson Njiforti, Annelies Donners, Carel Drijver, Patrick Dugan, Lucy Emerton, Victor Ferrari, Mahamat Habibou, Augusta Henriques, Jaap Kok, Roger Kouokam, Joost Lubbers, Daniel Ngantou, Jean-Claude Nguinguiri, Erick Jan van Oosterhout, Pierre Oyo, Ibrahima Peghouma, Jean-Yves Pirot, Maureen Roël, Paul Scholte, Jaap Schoorle, Martin Tchamba, Franke Toornstra, Piet Wit and Ton van der Zon.
