In 2020, project staff provided technical support to national policy documents about sustainable bamboo forestry management and forest landscape restoration, which were developed with the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife and the Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development. The documents will help ensure the long-term sustainability of bamboo planting efforts in Cameroon.
The project has also helped establish eight new nurseries for bamboo and other non-timber forest plants, which in 2020 produced 37,000 plants for distribution. More than 100 hectares of land were secured for restoration in an effort involving 150 locals, most of whom received training on bamboo agroforestry.
