| Research Abstract |
While new forestlaws in central African countries refer to the people's customary rights to the forests for the first time, actual situation and recognition of customary forest use have not been clearly understood. The way to adjusting the conflicting interests among various stakeholders are not well established. This study pointed out various problems in the recently revised forest laws in central African countries. It also documented actual customary land and resource uses, based on the fieldworks in Cameroon and other countries. The importance of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for subsistence and commercial purposes were also clarified. The spatio-temporal patterns of customary forest use are mapped and visualized by using GPS, thus facilitating the mutual understanding of forest uses by different groups of local people. In these ways, the study provided the basic data for establishing sustainable use of the forest resources.
