Rise up for regeneration of the south western forest ecosyst

In the last 3 decades, there had been a vast, think and dense community of diversify, medicinal, food generated and ecological tree plants. Today, this area is rapidly seen without or with very little number of trees to economically, socially or ecologically sustain the inhabitants of the forest and the world.  This is as a result of the difference human activities carryout by the local population and timber exploitation companies through concession in the forest ecosystem. The call to the  organization is made to ensure that, the forest ecosystem regenerate and restore to perform the difference socio-economic ecological functions to people and their environment.  However, the issue of forest loss is a prolong, inequitable, severe and a frequently occurring social problem in the community. Firstly, the ability to lives under a moderate or constant temperature is under attack. There is the issue of heavy rainfall especially in the rainy season. Secondly rising temperature is accompanied with severe sunshine and prolong dry season.   The maximum temperature recorded during the day in the dry season is about 400C and humidity of about 70%. Thirdly, rising temperature is making it difficult for farmer to predict the season for their farming activities. Fourly, rising temperature is affecting the biodiversity and wildlife in the difference ecosystems of the environment. About one-quarter of the difference monkey species has extinct from the community. Lastly this is ensuring the prevalence of new diseases and sicknesses in the community. It should be noted that, more than 60% of pregnant women were affected with malaria. The issue of forest loss is cause by the unsustainable use and the mismanagement of forest resources by households. 65% of foreign timber companies don’t respect concession contract due to lack of follow-up and corruption. There is the practice of high deforestation and agricultural faming system. There is a huge pressure on forest resources. About 75% of the local farmers still practice bush burning as method of farming for food crops production.

 Secondly, local community inhabitants are not educated and sensitize on the recent issue of climate change in the community.  There is a huge challenge and unawareness to integrate schools, community and the public with green plants. Lastly, reforestation and the plantation of timber species, agroforestry and non- timber products is still a challenge for the local community. There is the illegal exploitation and the non- respect of timber concession contract by foreign companies. Forest loss is giving path to chain of effects on the people and the environment. Firstly, there is rising issue of flooding and damaging of properties in the community. There is the rising of forest degradation and soil erosion causing serious food insecurity. 60% of the difference species of native cocoa yam use as food are threat or might face extinction in the long run due to sun burnt. There is the increase prevalence of malaria, cancers and cholera   diseases in the community. Most of the forest wildlife and biodiversity are threaten and critically endangered.   The community is at the verge of losing importance species like the Africa Elephants, gorilla and monkey species.  There is the issue of severe water crisis and the absent of good drinking water.  It highlighted that, 4 of the 10 freshwater has disappear in the forest due the exposition of watershed zones.

If we fail to tackle this issue now, then, we are planning for the total extinction of diversify tree plants, humanity, wildlife and other biodiversity in the ecosystem. The implementation of this project will be carryout in the   Tombel community. This community is located in the foot of Mount Kupe in the tropical rainy forest of south west Cameroon.  This issue becomes severe around 2002 when the population experience huge increase from migration and natural growth. This period also witnessed the commencement of timber exploitation by timber companies in the forest.

Provision of a restore and sustainable forest ecosystem with the grant money from OMLA. This will be reach when 20000 cocoa, palms, non-timber tree species are planted and cultivated in the forest ecosystem. This will be achieves through environmental workshops and the donation of farming seedlings and materials.  This will reduce forest loss in the tropical forest of south west Cameroon for a period of 15months.

our targeted population will be  vulnerable  cocoa and palms farmers especially women and youths that are engage in the  productive and cultivation of cocoa and palm. they project will ensure the  provision of   modern and  productive seedlings for farms regeneration to their old and ageing farms leading  to deforestation and degradation in the forest

 our team are didn't  only have educational credential and  experience on the issue and the  solution. we are also members that have  deep understand  and observation of the problem. More so, we have  been engage in the  implementation of  several projects in the  communities related  to forest management and sustainability. we are educated sons and daughters of the  community running an environmental base group to serve the  local population in the  community.we easily  understand  the problem as we have bee living in the community for a  longer period of time. also,  through our  interview and  focus group discussion. we in the community we are able to know and understand most of the problem affecting them. we announce the  solution to community through radio announcement,  visitation of  church groups, youth groups, women  that we engage in the  project by providing role and responsibility for them to volunteers. we also work with the local authority of the community for the  provision of land and  vital stools for project implementation. our solution to  the issue is guided and  support by  community resources, actions, contribution or improvemnt or modification of their livelihood in the community.

our main challenge is the project is financial difficulty that is  to raise fund for  the project  for the purchase of cocoa seedlings from agricultural shops

  The project will be more innovative and sustainable as the agroforestry seedlings that will be introduce will be totally difference from the existence ones in the community. This hybrid and innovative seedlings that will be introduces into the forest grow over a short period of time and yield at very early stage. However, these seedlings are more productive and very resistance to pest and diseases. This is provided through their special selection, treatment and the technical imputing of compounds and properties for their germination and growth. This will create change and impact the forest, the local  population and the environmental sector of the community. first, this will  fastly increase the rate of  forest restoration and regeneration in the  forest ecosystem. This will intend reduce the issue of  forest loss and degradation causing  desertification, erosion, extinction, dust and the  spread of tropical diseases. This innovative project will increase the food security and income from the farmland of the forest. This will able to reduce hunger and malnutrition face by children and women in the community.  This impacts will be sighted and realize from the fact that, agroforestry trees act as carbon store or carbon reservoir of carbon sequestration as a function. These innovative seedlings will also ensure the early, regular and constant production of cocoa and palm fruits for home consumption and capitalization.

The solution that we want to provide aim at providing the following results as the set goals  for the organization  for the next years in the community

• To ensure a safe, sound, clean and sustainable forest ecosystem in the environment. The forest ecosystem will be zero polluted and continue in the providing water, food shelter, energy and nutrition to the immediate population without jeopardize the future generation in the community. this will  be ensure by the   planting of  the  cocoa seedlings in degraded forest land.
•  To ensure a non- impoverish and resilient community free from hunger and poverty. we will  reduce poverty, hunger and malnutrition on children and  women in forest community.  this is supported by continue  of provision and  strengthening of  livelihoods and  income generating activities to  the  vulnerable and most affected in the community.
•   To ensure clean water and sanitation in forest community. The solution will ensure the regeneration and protection of watersheds on the landscape especially on hilly topography. The solution will ensure the restoration of forest ecosystem in the next five years with the seedlings to protect stream and fresh waters from extreme dryness and sunlight.  We will ensure the  clean of  freshwater and streams in the community, reinforce environmental law and customary through seminars, construction of bole holes in the  community.
•  To reduce the extreme heat and rising temperature in the community which is causing global warming and other environmental issues. This impacts will be sighted and realize from the fact that, agroforestry trees act as carbon store or carbon reservoir of carbon sequestration in the greenhouse gases of the atmosphere. We want to carryout  climate  education in schools and  community through  seminars and seminars which will increase the awareness to both the  children, youths and  elderly since the  fight for climate change remain a join  commitments for everyones.

The investigation on the success and progress of the project, we should
open a research finding no the following indicators. The studies will
measure indicators on the status of the human and environment. The
indicators include poverty reduction, increase food security,
advancement of stream and fresh water generation, forest restoration
growth, rising income, rising temperature and other relevant indicators.
The result of the success of the project will be obtain from research
methods like a counter factual or randomize control trial to the
participants before and after or the comparison group for impact
evaluation. We should open a research by conducting a survey or open
group discussion on the participants and program or project managers.
This will go long way to insight on how well or accurate was project
delivery to the participants, and highlight potential areas for
improvement on subsequent projects.

The activity of the project will focus on the provision of quality plant seedlings especially in agroforestry (cocoa and palms). The plant seedlings will be provided to affected, vulnerable and   low income farmers of the forest community as the target population. The seedlings to the farmers in the forest region will result in the provisions of trees or secondary forest, cooking oil, cocoa bean, forest fruits and livelihood and employment as  output and benefits in community land and households. These results will have the following impact, change and outcome in the community.

•  The establishment of a secondary forest in the community will help the issue of degradable or deforestation cause by forest loss, rapid advancement of desertification. Also, this will reduce the amount of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide release in the atmosphere. This will go a long way to solve the issue of erosion and rising temperature. There will be reduction of the issue of flooding, prolong dryness, extreme heat and unclean water supply. Thereby, solving the issue of high prevalence of malaria on pregnant women and new born, loss of live and property.  Human will benefit and  have a sound and safe  environment for settlement without pollution and waste disposal. The waste management technique from the farm for  the production of organic fertilizers for the  farm will ensure a clean and unpolluted  environment from  household waste remain
•  The output of palm oil, forest products and cocoa beans will reduce the issue of hunger and poverty in the community or among the target population. The issue of malnutrition and lack of diets for children and new born will reduce in the community standard of living and wellbeing of forest people in rural and hard to reach community be improve and ameliorated. Child illiteracy and early marriage especially on young girls will reduce in the hard to reach forest zone.   First, the benefits of livelihood and employment from the farm will provide and strengthening the livelihood of old and new farmers in the community.  Poaching and hunting of endanger species will reduce as there is the steady and sustainable livelihood for income regeneration.  Wildlife and biodiversity like monkeys, elephants, snakes, and   others in the forest ecosystem will habit the forest without any threat of extinction. Secondly,  The nursing farm  for the  production of seedlings will employment  rural women and  youths  in the  community as workers.  Gender base violence and violation of sexual and reproductive health rights on women will reduce. There will be an increase in women empowerment and family planning among rural women in forest community. Pregnant and nurses mothers will have access to natal and antenatal care  before and  after delivery leading  to reduction od still birth, loss of life and miscarriage.  This will reduce the outward increasement of sex workers leading to reduction the transmission of infectious disease among the people.

The core power of our science to the seedlings nursing activity   will be centre and fuel by plant base technology through greenhouse farm techniques   and waste recycling for organic fertilizers in the farm. These scientific techniques will ensure a fast production of the  seedlings in the farm for further replanting in the  forest ecosystem.

 non- discrimination is  one of the value system of the organization respect so much, we therefore, ensure equality  to all workers and  personals  in the organization without  discrimination as  to sex,race, color, tribes, languages and religious. the violation and disregard of this value call for immediate suspension of  workers at the  jobsite

our business is focus in the provision and selling  of  seedling of  food base plants to our vulnerable farmers and  targeted population in the  community respectively this  is done through the  purchase of quality seeds  nurse as seedlings then donated and provided to the  farmer and the vulnerable persons  for replanting  in the  forest. The  seedling which growth as tree crops in the  forest is  aim providing them food,  income  generation, livelihood and employment , clean environment and  the  assurance of  environmental sustainability in the community.

The sustainability concept of  the project lie on the fact that, the  seedlings produce in the farms will be  giving out to the  farmers  and not affected population at a modern price, this  is aim at reinvesting the money as circulating capital  in the business.we will also publish our results on our difference social media platform to attract grant and donation from donor organization and philanthropist. we will seek for  local government  support and assistance for the project.

some of the capital that we have been received so far project  come from grants from donor  organizations, this includes,

 OMLA -$1000
