The Rain Forests of Cameroon

Experience and Evidence from a Decade of Reform

About this book

A decade of rainforest reform in Cameroon: What worked, what didn't, and why. This report assesses the outcomes of regulatory and market-based reforms implemented in Cameroon's rainforests since 1994.

Based on historical data and extensive interviews, the authors reveal how these reforms aimed to regulate access, balance public and private interests, and integrate economic, cultural, and environmental perspectives. Discover how zoning, community forestry, and harvesting rights have impacted sustainability, transparency, and local livelihoods.

  • Examine the effects of forest taxation and institutional changes.
  • Understand the challenges of illegal logging and deforestation.
  • Explore the integration of global environmental services.

For policymakers, development practitioners, and researchers, this book offers valuable lessons for sustainable forest management in developing countries.
