Drug Development and Conservation of Biodiversity in West and Central Africa.

Abstract

During the AP1, the Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS) and its partner the Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme - Cameroon (BDCP-C), conducted plant inventory work at the ICBG Korup Forest Dynamics Plot. The enumeration of the first 25-ha of the large Korup Forest Dynamics Plot was finished in May 1998. The first analytical results were completed for the first hectare of KFDP, as well as ethnobotanical identifications. A topography map has been created for the first 25-ha. Many researchers within the project have traveled to collaborate on plot work, data entry, data analysis, and plant identification. A series of small biodiversity plots in Cameroon and Nigeria were established by the Smithsonian Monitoring and Assessment of Biodiversity (SI/MAB) program. The SI/MAB program also held training courses in Cameroon and Nigeria.
