  Forests For Life in south-east Cameroon
Only six per cent of the world's forests are legally protected. WWF's international Forest For Life Campaign aims to raise this to a minimum of ten per cent of ecologically representative forests and ensure that many more are managed sustainably. Extensive areas in south-east Cameroon will be among the test cases.

Traditionally, hunting was small-scale and sustainable, never exceeding the carrying capacity of the forest. But today, bush meat rates second to timber as an important forest product.

Prints, nests, and dung piles
Ethno-ecology, Dr Atanga Ekobo of WWF calls it. "We're collecting information on the ecology and biodiversity of the area and on the way natural resources are being used by people."
