Taxonomy, ecology, harvesting methods, ethnopharmacological use, trade and prospects for sustainable management of Prunus africana (Hook. f.) Kalkman (Rosaceae)
Background: Prunus africana (Hook. F) Kalkman has been the spotlight of foresters and scientists for several decades. However, the knowledge about this plant, which is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is patchy. This article provides a bibliographic review for the current knowledge on Prunus africana, focus on harvesting methods, ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological use, trade and stakehold…
Phytopharmaceutical Diversity of Baka People in the Southern Cameroon
Medicinal plants take a fundamental place in people's livelihoods. They seem to be a palliative therapeutic option for health problems. The knowledge of traditional uses of plants for healing held by indigenous people is an asset to the valorization of traditional medicine, which is increasingly solicited for the treatment of many diseases. The aim of this research is to improve know-how on plant species employed in the traditional pharmacopoeia …
Ethnobotanical knowledge of Prunus africana (Hook. f.) Kalkman (Rosaceae) by people living in community forests in North Kivu, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Background: Prunus africana (Hook. f) Kalkman (Rosaceae) is a multi-purpose species with important utility value for the populations that depend on it. Indeed, local populations living in community forests use P. africana. The objective of this study is to document the different uses of P. africana by local populations in traditional medicine for a better vulgarization for a sustainable management of the resource. Methods: Ethnobotanical surveys …
Ethnobotanical survey of wild edible plants used by Baka people in southeastern Cameroon
Background Forest inhabitants worldwide, and indigenous people especially, have depended for generations on plants and animals harvested in these ecosystems. A number of Baka hunter-gatherer populations in south-eastern Cameroon became sedentarised in the 1950s, but still rely on hunting and gathering to meet their basic needs. The use of wild edible plants (WEP) by these communities remains largely undocumented. In this study, we record the dive…
Diversity in the usages of edible wild plants by the Baka and Bakwélé in the periphery of the Tala Tala Forest Management Unit, North Congo
Background: In practice, timber companies use production forests or forest management units (FMU) for timber/wood purposes. Little attention is paid for Non-wood forest products (NWFP), which is not good. This study analyses the diversity in the usage of edible wild plants among the people based in the periphery of the Tala Tala FMU in the North Congo.Methods: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted from 8 to 23 May 2012 on edible NWFP used by Bak…
Financial status of small and medium scale enterprises based on non-wood forest products (NWFP) in Central Africa
Collective action and promotion of forest based associations on non-wood forest products in Cameroon
This paper documents collective actions undertaken by forest-based associations to access better prices for their non-wood forest products via group sales. Group sales can increase the income of group sellers by up to 40 per cent compared to individual sellers. The institutionalisation of group sales reinforces social relations and cohesion as well as mutual trust. Group sales were found to be a key preliminary step in the development and growth …
