| Research Abstract |
Aiming to find out the ways in which forest dwellers can sustainably use forest resources without their depletion, we conducted a series of field surveys concerning the carrying capacity of the African tropical rainforest.We investigated resource-using activities, land-use systems, ethnoscientific knowledges of plant and animal resources and population dynamics of forest dwellers including two groups of hunter-gatherers, e.g.the Baka and the Aka generally known as pygmies and some groups of slash-and-burn horticulturalists and productivity of some natural or cultivated food resources in southern Cameroon where a drier type of rainforests predominants and northern Congo where a more humid type of rainforests predominants from 1994 to 1996. Besides above items, we researched the physical and physiological condition of the Baka hunter-gatherers living in south Cameroon in 1996. We are examining the capacity of the african rainforest based on these data.
