An empirical analysis of the biodiversity and economic returns to cocoa agroforests in southern Cameroon
Background:
The trees and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) of the Congo Basin play a key role in alleviating food insecurity among millions of people around the world. Although many studies have been conducted both nationally and regionally on issues of food insecurity in the Congo Basin, litt...

Nutrition in transition: current dietary trends around forest concessions of the Congo Basin
Many species of timber trees in Cameroon are exploited by logging companies for timber and by forest-
dependent communities for non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Quantitative analyses were conducted
within and near forest concessions in Cameroon to determine the density of multiple use tree spe...

Do logging concessions decrease the availability to villagers of foods from timber trees? A quantitative analysis for Moabi (Baillonella toxisperma), Sapelli ( Entandrophragma cylindricum ) and Tali (Erythrophleum suaveolens) in Cameroon
The shaded cocoa cropping system found throughout West Africa but particularly well represented in Cameroon and Nigeria is a sustainable agricultural land use system that provides relatively high values of environmental services. The paper describes and quantifies some of its non-cocoa economic a...
