Common use of The Takamanda-Mone Landscape Clause in Contracts

The Takamanda-Mone Landscape. The Takamanda-Mone forest landscape occupies the northern end of Cameroon’s South West Province and covers an estimated 4,400 km2. This landscape, which encompasses the forest areas of Takamanda, Mone, Mbulu and Kagwene, provides habitat to all but one of the known Cross River Gorilla populations in Cameroon and forms an almost contiguous forest block that adjoins similar forests in Nigeria. Though recognized as a biologically important area on a regional scale (Xxxxxxxx et al. 2003; Xxxxxxxx et al. in press), the Takamanda-Mone landscape has been somewhat neglected by conservation efforts. The area has inadequate numbers of forestry officers to monitor illegal forestry and hunting. To improve the survival prospects of the Cross River Gorilla and other threatened animals, and to ensure that proposed protected areas are effectively conserved, this situation needs to be urgently remedied.
