Most of Cameroon's biological el-dorados have been threatened and
majority of the flora and fauna are facing extinction that is why i
decided to celebrate this day with the future generation at the
MT.Cameroon biological el-dorado.Giving them a brief lecture in this
park was important for them to understand some terms.Biological
diversity refers to the variety of all plants,animals and
micro-organisms their genetic make up, habitats and ecological processes
on the earth.Cameroon is an el-dorado of biological species which are
usefull to mankind as a source of material,a genetic resource which
can contribute to the improvement of breeds and to the development of
biotechnology,i explained.I made the children to understand their role
in the ecosystem and their importance to man and made them see the need
for protection and conservation since most of Cameroon's biological
diversity in fast disapearing.It is now recognised that the rate of
extinction which has accelerated over the years,constituted a loss of
our NATURAL CAPITAL and thus a threat to human survival.The rate of
extinction in Cameroon is still unknow but it is estimated to be high
due to high level of poaching,habitat loss upon which species
depend.large scale conversion of primary forest due to agricultural
expansion,logging,constrution works,pressure to meet up firewood
requirements,forest fires particularly in grassland areas play a great
role.Also,hunting ivory,skins and other animal parts is a form of
business and livelyhood reported within the country national park areas
and also from cross border poachhers attacts.we ended by making the
children understand how they can take part in this figth and also behave
well in park areas not to leave negative impacts like throwing pastics
and destroying habitats.The results of this biodiversity day leisure
trip were fruitfull for most of the youths were never aware of the day
or even care to know about this threats.Thanks to Tunza
Eco-generationg,UNEP and SAMSUNG this wonderfull iniative.
