I'm an expert in environmental governance and social forestry, with long experience as a project manager for a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Cameroon. I am particularly interested in policies and social issues relating to the forestry sector. For a long time, I worked on supporting community forests towards sustainable management to improve their livelihood conditions. More recently, I've been working on forest landscape restoraion projects and supporting communal forests management. I have been involved in analysing the political, legal and governance context of projects, the most recently was the Restoration Initiative project in Cameroon. I am also a guest member of the FSC standard development group in the Republic of Cameroon, and am contributing to the process of partially revising the national standard to include specific features to non-timber forest products. My experience in the field of community forest management in Cameroon led me to take part in the training and testing programme for the Economic Viability Tool (EVT) for improving community forest management in Central Africa. I am about to start a postgraduate research on the success factors of community based conservation in the Congo Basin with Laval University.
My ambition is to support the interests and needs of communities and collectivities in the context of forest management and specifically conservation, and produice advance knowledge of the social dynamics of the environment and the better ways to envolve communities in biodiversity conservation.
