Lack of community participation and benefits threatens the future of Lokoundjé-Nyong Forest in Cameroon

The Lokoundjé-Nyong forest in Cameroon was identified in 1997 through a pilot initiative under the national strategy for sustainable resource use. Supported by Canadian cooperation, the “Zoning Plan of Southern Cameroon” led to the forest’s classification as a forest management unit (FMU) and its designation as a production forest within the private domain of the state. Decree No. 97/073/PM formalized this status. Evaluated as an FAO “In Search of Excellence” case study in 2002, the forest has since undergone notable changes. This report reviews two decades of developments in sustainable forest management practices in the Lokoundjé-Nyong area.
