Atelier sur la gouvernance forestière.
🌍 Depuis le 23 septembre 2024, AJESH participe à un atelier d’échange organisé par le World Resources Institute (WRI) à l’hôtel de la Falaise, à Yaoundé, Cameroun. Cet atelier porte sur l’analyse des obstacles à l’adoption et à la mise à l’échelle des solutions visant à améliorer le financement de la lutte contre le changement climatique 🌿, la préservation de la biodiversité 🦋 et l’amélioration du bien-être des communautés 👥. Aligné sur la stratégie du WRI, l’objectif principal est de renforcer la gouvernance forestière 🌳, d’accroître les bénéfices des initiatives de gestion environnementale à grande échelle, de promouvoir des pratiques de conservation et de restauration rentables par les CLPA sur leurs territoires, ainsi que de développer des modèles agricoles à la fois rentables et respectueux de la nature 🌱.

Les communautés de la Zone Clé de Biodiversité (KBA) de Yabassi s’engagent à expulser les braconniers de leurs forêts.
Les communautés de la Zone Clé de Biodiversité (KBA) de Yabassi s’engagent à expulser les braconniers de leurs forêts. Réunies ce 20 juillet à Yingui, les communautés de Ndogbageungue, Ndokbakan, Mosse, Ndogmem Nord et Iboti ont reconnu leur complicité et leur rôle facilitateur dans l’intrusion des chasseurs braconniers dans leurs forêts, participant même à l’évacuation de leur butin. Pour lutter contre ce fléau qui contribue à la dégradation accrue de la biodiversité, elles ont décidé de sensibiliser leurs membres en les relocalisant des forêts vers les villages pour un changement bénéfique à tous. Un atelier de formation réunissant les chasseurs, les femmes responsables des restaurants et les chefs des villages a permis de sensibiliser sur le problème du braconnage. Des stratégies de suivi ont été établies pour faciliter la reconversion des braconniers, dont 80 % ne sont pas résidents de ces villages.
AJESH engages the planting of over 13 000 native plants in Cameroon.
AJESH launches mass restoration in the Yabassi KBA (Key Biodiversity Area), planting native species such as Garcinia Cola, Afrostyrax, Acacia, etc. The target is to plant over 13000 trees across the the KBA and other identified deforested landscapes. The initiative was kickstarted by the Nkam MINFOF and MINEPDED Divisional delegates and conducted by the local communities with support from AJESH and partners This trees planting program is aimed at addressing the crucial deforestation and forest degradation mapped by AJESH and WRI-GFW within the KBA. So the program is to combat climate change effects and enhancing biodiversity conservation in the landscape.

32nd RC-OIE (External Idependent Observatory) meeting, AJESH, Limbe
Deforestation, forest degradation, and illegal logging monitoring data are crucial in decision-making on climate change, biodiversity loss, and desertification. As a member of Cameroon’s Civil Society Organisations External Independent Monitoring Network (RC-OIE in French), AJESH hosted the 32nd edition of the Coordination Meeting of the Independent External Monitoring of Forests in Cameroon on April 17, 2024, at its office in Limbe. This platform brings together civil society organizations and communities that independently monitor forest exploitation activities. The 32nd meeting was held to assess the field activities and plans of the RC-OIE members. The aim was to develop a harmonized annual report and chart a way forward for the operationalization of the network by creating a 2024/2025 action plan for fundraising and implementation of activities. Participants were enthusiastic in exchanging innovative ideas to refine the direction of RC-OIE’s operations. They discussed how to address a broader spectrum of global issues, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and advancing desertification in forest areas. Representatives from 10 Organizations of Civil Society (OSCs) including FODER, PLANETE URGENCE, ECODEV, AIDE, CAFER, CADDE, ACPADEL, SUHE, SAILD, and AJESH, attended the meeting. Their collective engagement demonstrated a strong commitment to working collaboratively in advancing the mission of RC-OIE. Ajesh WRI GlobalforestWatch EarthInsight Rainforestfoundation-UK IUCN-CEESP
