Living in and from the forests of Central Africa is intended first and foremost as a full-scale extension tool concerning NWFPs in Central Africa. It is a work on the groups who have always lived in these forests, forests that contribute to every aspect of their daily lives, both material and spiritual, and enable them to survive even in periods of extreme crisis.

"Living in and from the forests of Central Africa is intended first and foremost as a full-scale extension tool concerning NWFPs in Central Africa. It is a work on the groups who have always lived in these forests, forests that contribute to every aspect of their daily lives, both material and spiritual, and enable them to survive even in periods of extreme crisis. The book is divided into seven parts. The first gives an overview of Central Africa and NWFPs, while the second shows how animal and plant NWFPs contribute to the food and nutritional security of forest people. The third part discusses the causes of the local population’s majorinvolvement in the harvesting and use of NWFPs i.e. the growing crisis in staple foods in the 1990s and the economic and social importance of these products. The fourth describes the consequences of this major involvement, which has led, for example, to increased pressure on NWFPs from the local population, thus making sustainable management of these resources more problematic. The fifth part describes the initiatives carried out by COMIFAC, FAO and other partners to optimize knowledge of NWFPs and increase the value of the sector. The sixth and seventh parts constitute the culminating point of advocacy on behalf of NWFPs in Central Africa, with a vital need, on the one hand, for their sustainable management and, on the other, for development of entrepreneurship with a view to increasing their added value."--Publisher's description.

At three times the size of France, Central African forests are the largest ropical forest mass after the Amazon and cover a large portion of the Congo Basin. Unlike the forests of Western Africa and Asia, these are still well preserved as in many massive yet little unaffected clumps natural processes continue unperturbed. These forests a crucially vital to countries in the area as well as populations who live off them. At a key moment in time for the history of these forests this book assesses the situation and attempts to answer a few basic questions: which forests are we taling about and where did they come from ? In what way are they different from the other tropical forests in the world? How do these forests's plants and animals live? Since when and by who are they inhabited ? What has been done to safeguard them? What are the major problems faced by theses forests today?

The 2010 State of the Forest report (SOF) benefited from financial support from the European Union, the United States, Germany, France and UNESCO. It represents the collaborative effort of over 100 individuals from a diversity of institutions and the forestry administrations of the Central African countries. The SOF process began with the selection and definition of indicators relevant to monitoring the state of forests in Central Africa. The indicators are structured around three thematic areas: (i) forest cover; (ii) management of production forests; and (iii) conservation and biodiversity. They are presented in a hierarchical structure at the regional, national and management unit (i.e. logging concessions and protected areas) levels. The indicators were vetted by a representative panel of stakeholders of forest management in Central Africa. The indicators are used to guide an annual data collection process carried out between April and August by national groups of four to ten individuals working within the forestry administrations. The data reported on in the 2010 SOF were primarily collected in 2009 and 2010. Results were validated in national workshops attended by government officials as well as representatives of environmental NGOs, the private sector and development projects. The data provided an important basis for the authors of the 11 chapters of the 2010 SOF, which were under the coordination of a scientific committee of international renown. A final workshop was held 29-30 March, 2011 in Douala to review a draft report. Following amendments based on comments from a wide audience of experts the final layout was completed.
