The site is located between the Boumba River and [[Lobéké National Park]], to the west of the Moloundou Road. ZICGC stands for ''Zones d'Intéret Cynégétique à Gestion Communautaire'', areas where communities can exploit flora and fauna under community-led management plans with the oversight of governmental conservation authorities (Nelson 2003).

The selection criteria required for joining the group of community delegates responsible for managing the ZICGC such as the need for French literacy, mitigates against the membership of Baka community representatives. In 2002, less than 10% of the delegates for ZICGC 9 were from the Baka majority, and they were mainly chosen by local Bantu chiefs, not by the Baka themselves (Nelson 2003). As a result, management decisions can come into direct conflict with the livelihood strategies of the Baka. For example, the committee can allow safari companies access to primer forest hunting areas, which the Baka rely on for subsistence (Nelson 2003).

Central Africa > Cameroon > ZICGC 9

Summary

Loading map...
  • Central chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) & western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are present in ZICGC 9.
  • The population sizes are unknown.
  • The great ape population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of approx 2,800 km².
  • Key threats to great apes are not documented.
  • Conservation activities are not documented.

Site characteristics

The site is located between the Boumba River and Lobéké National Park, to the west of the Moloundou Road. ZICGC stands for Zones d'Intéret Cynégétique à Gestion Communautaire, areas where communities can exploit flora and fauna under community-led management plans with the oversight of governmental conservation authorities (Nelson 2003).

Table 1. Basic site information for ZICGC 9

Area
Coordinates 2.267269, 15.280241
Designation Community-managed hunting area
Habitat types Subtropical/tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical/tropical swamp forest

IUCN habitat categories Site designations

Ape status

Within ZICGC 9, the areas with the highest gorilla population densities have been estimated to range between 4 to 6 individuals per km (Nelson & Venant 2008).

Challenges

The selection criteria required for joining the group of community delegates responsible for managing the ZICGC such as the need for French literacy, mitigates against the membership of Baka community representatives. In 2002, less than 10% of the delegates for ZICGC 9 were from the Baka majority, and they were mainly chosen by local Bantu chiefs, not by the Baka themselves (Nelson 2003). As a result, management decisions can come into direct conflict with the livelihood strategies of the Baka. For example, the committee can allow safari companies access to primer forest hunting areas, which the Baka rely on for subsistence (Nelson 2003).
