Takamanda National Park. It is estimated that approximately 15,000 people rely on the forests of Takamanda for livelihood resources such as timber and non-timber forest products, particularly bushmeat, xxxx mango (Irvingia spp.), and the edible leaves of the Gnetum vine (“eru” or “salad”). The combination of increasing human population in the area and increasing accessibility by road is escalating pressure on the forests. Takamanda’s location adjacent to the international border provides additional trans- boundary challenges for enforcement of forestry and wildlife laws. The trafficking of bushmeat across the porous international border with Nigeria, as well as to other parts of Cameroon, is rapidly depleting wildlife populations.
