The Western Highlands of Cameroon (WHC) affects four regions of Cameroon (West, North-West, South-West). The landscape is stratified into three zones : the two zones with high biodiversity (Reserves, Community Forests, catchment areas) and a wildlife corridor zone (A wildlife corridor is an area of habitat connecting wildlife populations separated by human activities or structures). However, our work has increased in the two zones where we find a strong biodiversity potential. These centers are made up of the Mounts Bana-Bangou-Bangangté (which cover the following municipalities BANA, BANGOU and BANGANGTE) and the Mounts Bamboutos (which cover the municipalities of NKONG-ZEM, BABADJOU, MBOUDA, BATCHAM, SANTA and FONGO TONGO which signed the Decentralized Convention to protect their landscape). As for the wildlife corridor, it includes the municipalities of Bamendjou, Batié, Penka-Michel, Bamougoum, Baham, Tonga, Alou, Bayangam, Wabane, Santa, Tubah, Ndop, Bandjan, Galim, Batibo, Bengwi, Bamenda, Bangang, Bakassa. The decentralized local authorities (CTD) of the Mounts Bamboutos and Mounts Bana-Bangangte-Bangou including the wildlife corridor, have united and set up management committees for their landscape in order to find solutions for its protection. The combined population of the landscape (three sites) is estimated at 1,230,405 inhabitants. The average population density is around 468 inhabitants/km2 compared to a national average density of 37.6 inhabitants/km2. The targeted landscape is well populated. This, combined with a rapidly growing population which explains why there is strong pressure on it. Hence, there is a need to take urgent measures to safeguard this biodiversity. The economy of the landscape is essentially based on agriculture (food crops, market gardening, income, etc.), livestock breeding (cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, etc.), beekeeping and trade. There are an eucalyptus forest of more than 10,000 ha in production and cash crops such as potatoes, cabbages, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, plantains, beans, yams, corn, cocoa and coffee, fruit trees (oranges, lemons, avocados, safous, mangoes...). Given the multi-use, multi-actor nature of the area and the complexity of defining a micro-zoning plan which takes into account different stakeholders concerns, community-based management of the landscape is seen as the best long-term solution to these urgent environmental and social challenges. Hence, the governance structure was established, namely the Landscape Management Board (LMB). The governance structure to monitor the sustainaibility of the landscape is the Landscape Management Board (LMB) which is the supreme decision-making body at two level, composed of multi-stakeholders coming from the different municipalities for the effective and efficient management of the landscape. It is made up of representatives of all decentralized local authorities and is made up of 27 members (including 30% of women) from municipal management commissions. It serves as a platform for exchange and consultation between the different stakeholders at the village, municipality and landscape level. The Municipal Landscape Management Commission (MLMC) is the first level of the LMB structure. They are the anchor structures of the LMB in each municipality where local communities including farmers, women and youths are part of the decision making process. Their composition is recorded in the minutes of the deliberation of the municipal council and they are made up of 16 members, representative of different socio-professional categories. The main goal of sustainability is to conserve biodiversity, restore soils, protect water sources and ensure the well-being of local communities. Therefore, we are in advanced discussions with a non-governmental organization to implement some of the solutions identified.The landscape faces existential threats namely •Deforestation for firewood and construction; •Fires and bush fires; •Overexploitation of lowlands, •Converting forests to agricultural land; •The increasing need for grazing for animals; •The strong population growth which has as its corollary the increase in arable land; •The drying up of rivers that once flowed permanently, with consequences for the structure of the soil, the health of the populations. The above threats are already impacting the local communities through: •Disputes in relation to use and access to water; •Conflicts regarding exploitation of soil. In rare cases, such conflicts have lead to the death of people; •Conflicts between farmers and animal breeders; •Declining soil yields •New diseases and health issues related to water and soil pollution •Some animals were wiped out and other are danger of disappearing from the landscape Regarding environmental, socio-economic, and integrated governance issues (Integrated governance is any public policy coordination action that integrates multiple public and/or private actors, whether they are located in several sectors and/or levels of government and/or whether they act at one or more different scales), the status of Priority Management Zone (PMZ) is the one agreed by landscape stakeholders. The PMZ is enshrined in Law No. 2011/008/ of 6 May 2011, which lays down guidelines for the planning and sustainable development of the territory of Cameroon. See More
