  
Global Forest Watch Cameroon Report
This report is one of the first products of
Global Forest Watch (GFW) , a
remarkable new alliance that was launched
by the World Resources Institute (WRI),
working with non-governmental
organizations and local leaders from frontier
forests around the world.
Through this report, our Cameroonian partners have documented that
Cameroon's forests are among the most biologically diverse in the Congo
Basin.
Yet, these forests are under rapidly growing development pressures.
Given its economic and environmental implications, logging has to be
carefully monitored if Cameroon wants to safeguard its forest resources
for future generations.
If managed properly, Cameroon's forests could offer long-term revenues
without compromising the ecosystems' natural functions.
