Unfortunately, Cameroon’s forests are subject to serious problems, such as deforestation, resulting from logging and farming, a lack of an effective forest management program, climate change and an increase in population. Such problems underscore the importance of the International Model Forest Network in protecting Cameroon’s natural resources and implementing sustainable forest management practices. In addition, the African Model Forest Network (AMFN) has been striving since 2009 to empower women by placing them at the centre of projects and providing them with training and guidance sessions. For example, in two Cameroon Model Forests, women have started to produce and market non-timber forest products such as mushrooms, honey, oils and cosmetics made from tropical plants. Therefore, Model Forests serve as essential catalysts for amplifying social and environmental benefits throughout Africa, while addressing global crises like climate change at the same time.
