The movement of 40 civil society organisations, youths, and local and indigenous communities regrets that candidates prioritise the economy and development over the rights of indigenous peoples, the environment, and forests. It is within this context that the President of the Association of Young Indigenous People, AJPAC, Nyangono Lerys, sent this message to the candidates. “What we ask, of course, of the next president, […] - [Balanite, from forest to the market: How transforming non-timber forest products changed a woman’s life](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/balanites-from-forest-to-the-market-how-transforming-non-timber-forest-products-changed-a-womans-life/): By Leocadia Bongben “I now check my sugar level once a year, thanks to the natural products I started consuming and transforming,” says Djamilatou Maliki, her eyes sparkling under her sunglasses, with a smile revealing white teeth as she narrated her diabetes story. Her life changed when she was diagnosed with diabetes and forced to consume natural foods, adhering to rigorous regimens. The businesswoman developed an interest in transforming non-timber forest products after finding it challenging to secure natural foods and oils, such as groundnut oil, while she was ill. She gradually embraced another passion apart from teaching. Besides making […] - [Independent forest monitoring reveals illegal logging is draining biodiversity and finances](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/independent-monitoring-reveals-illegal-logging-is-draining-biodiversity-finances/): By Leocadia Bongben After a ten-year absence, the Independent Forest Monitoring, coordinated by the World Resource Institute in Cameroon, has returned with stark revelations about illegal logging in the country. Foret et Development Rural, FODER, which is part of the monitoring platform ‘Normalized System of External Independent Monitoring,’ by its French acronym, SNOIE, revealed that the Mbam and Kim, Haut Nyong, Ocean, Sanaga Maritime, and Mvila divisions are hotspots of illegal logging.

This was during a press conference organized by Transparency International-Cameroon, TI-C, on September 25.   “Our chiefs are not recognised, Baguelli, Bakola, including Mbororos, and villages do not have land titles even though they have existed for ages, and we are considered landless people”, says Jean Marie Boleka, a Baka who depicts the dire situation of indigenous people whose right to land has not been recognised.   Boleka says large villages established long ago left the settlements in the forest […] - [International Safe Abortion Day: Young people add their voices to the advocacy](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/international-safe-abortion-day-young-people-add-their-voices-to-the-advocacy/): By Leocadia Bongben Jennifer Akoh, MoonGirl (stage name), through the spoken word, creatively, and in a melodic voice, articulated the need for safe abortion for those eligible women whose health is at risk, and pregnancies from rape. She told the story of Anita, who was raped, and how society treated her worse than the rapist, stigmatizing her, and how she lost her life trying to get a backstreet abortion. Like Anita, many young girls and women find themselves in such a spiral of silence and end up six feet deep or with complications. The British parliament-style debate also echoed the […] - [Environmental crimes: journalists armed with investigative tools, techniques to unmask offenders](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/environmental-crimes-journalists-armed-with-investigative-tools-techniques-to-unmask-offenders/): By Leocadia Bongben Widespread deforestation, illicit logging, wood trafficking, harvesting of protected species, and unregulated mining are examples of environmental crimes in the Congo Basin that are frequently carried out by highly organized transnational criminal networks. The critical forest ecology is deteriorated by these illicit operations, endangering the livelihoods of millions of people, especially Indigenous communities, and accelerating climate change. Up to 30% of the world’s timber trade is derived from illicit logging, and up to 90% in tropical regions, including Central Africa, according to Interpol. Between $51 billion and $152 billion in unlawful revenues are generated globally each year […] - [Cameroon should adopt new fisheries law implementing decree, to ameliorate governance-EJF](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/llegal-fishing-in-cameroon-ejf-sounds-alarm-urges-transparency-in-fisheries-governance/): By Leocadia Bongben “I’m tired. I’ve stopped fishing. I don’t do anything to do with it anymore because it only brings me losses,” Ladi Ben, a fisherman in Yoyo, tells EJF how the destruction of his equipment led him to give up fishing. Even though the law forbids trawlers from fishing within five nautical miles of the coast, a zone designated for small-scale fishing, Ladi Ben’s choice to give up fishing reflects the situation faced by fishermen along Cameroon’s coastline. One of the trawlers’ crew members told EJF, “There hasn’t been a time that the trawlers haven’t gone to the […] - [WWF applauds African leaders for putting nature and adaptation central to Africa’s climate strategy](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/wwf-applauds-african-leaders-for-putting-nature-and-adaptation-at-the-heart-of-africas-climate-strategy/): WWF applauds African leaders for putting nature and adaptation at the heart of Africa’s climate strategy at the close of the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. To further Africa’s climate agenda and sustainable development priorities, the Second Africa Climate Summit is an avenue for policymakers, practitioners, corporations, and civil society to come together as a forum.

These eco-guards learnt about the scale of wildlife crimes, legal instruments, and the system for punishing wildlife offences, some provisions of the new forestry and wildlife law: innovations and their legal and judicial implications, human rights and good practices in the fight against wildlife crime, and the WWF environmental and social safeguards framework. The training serves as […] - [Local collaborative management committees to reduce IUU fishing in Cameroon’s protected area](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/can-local-collaborative-management-committees-reduce-iuu-in-cameroons-protected-areas/): By Leocadia Bongben In the settlements along Douala-Edea National Park—Mbiako, Yoyo I, and Yoyo II—fishers constantly fear “Sapak,” or Chinese trawlers. One of Cameroon’s 22 national parks is Douala-Edea, a first-class park covering over 2633 hectares of land and sea. The park’s conservation efforts are being undermined by several problems, including illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing; the use of pesticides like gamaline to catch fish; undersized nets; inappropriate fishing techniques; and the overexploitation of mangroves. IUU fishing is a nightmare for fishers in this park. “The trawlers’ army pursues us with guns at sea; occasionally, they spot us and […] - [Cameroon's Indigenous Peoples beg for recognition](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/cameroons-indigenous-people-beg-for-recognition/): Leocadia Bongben As the world celebrates the International Day of Indigenous Peoples, Cameroon’s Baka, Bagyélé, Bakola, Bedzan, and Mbororos cry for recognition and land rights. The plea comes against the backdrop of a lack of a legal framework for the protection of indigenous peoples. The day instituted by the UN in 1994 is celebrated on August 9, and the theme of this year, 2025, is ‘Indigenous peoples and artificial intelligence: defending rights, shaping the future.’ Ahead of the day, Greenpeace organized an information and advocacy day, which provided an opportunity for the indigenous people to raise their voices and present […] - [Inclusive conservation: MINFOF, WWF promote human rights and fight against environmental crimes](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/inclusive-conservation-minfof-wwf-promote-human-rights-and-fight-against-environmental-crimes/): By Leocadia Bongben The Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF) and the World Wide Fund for Nature, WWF Cameroon, have joined forces to raise awareness on a new code of ethics and professional conduct for forestry staff in protected areas and the fight against environmental crimes in conservation areas. Eco-guards used to do their job without a professionally specialized code of conduct that outlined their ethics and the penalties for noncompliance. They were, therefore, likely to carry out their responsibilities with a lack of accountability, honesty, and professional secrecy. Indigenous people (the Baka) complained of harassment from eco-guards, among other […] - [Blue Economy Conference:  Gulf of Guinea countries commit to 100 percent sustainable ocean management by 2030](https://cameroonfactfinder.com/blue-economy-conference-gulf-of-guinea-countries-commit-to-100-percent-sustainable-ocean-management-by-2030/): At the end of the Blue Economy Conference on the Gulf of Guinea, parties have committed to 100 percent ocean management by 2030.  “Developing and implementing Sustainable Ocean Plans to guide the sustainable use, protection, and restoration of marine and coastal ecosystems, and to manage 100% of ocean areas under national jurisdiction by 2030.
