本文考察了喀麦隆政府为促进其林业部门的可持续发展而制定的倡议，并为促进喀麦隆可持续森林管理提供了一系列政策建议。自喀麦隆颁布综合林业法（第0号法）以来。1994年1月20日第94/01号法令)，该法令规范了该国的林业部门，政府，特别是森林和动物部，与有关部委以及民间社会作出了一系列努力，在其林业部门内促进可持续的森林做法。然而，仔细的评估表明，虽然这些努力取得了一些进展，但该部门仍然受到一系列社会经济和生态挑战的困扰，即贫困、腐败、生产增值木材产品的资本和技术专长不足、非法采伐、大学投入不足、机构间冲突和监测不足。论文最后提出了一系列可用于促进喀麦隆可持续森林管理的建议。关键词：可持续发展，林业部门，森林可持续经营，喀麦隆
This paper examines initiatives formulated by the government of Cameroon to promote sustainable development within its forestry sector, and proffers a series of policy recommendations for advancing sustainable forest management in Cameroon. Since the enactment of Cameroon’s comprehensive forestry law (Law N0. 94/01 of 20th January 1994), which regulated the forestry sector in the country, the government, in particular, the Ministry of Forests and Fauna, has made a series of efforts with relevant ministries, as well as civil society to promote sustainable forest practices within its forestry sector. However, careful evaluation reveals that while these efforts have led to some progress, the sector is still plagued with a series of socio-economic and ecological challenges namely, poverty, corruption, inadequate capital and technical expertise for producing value-added wood products, illegal logging, insufficient university input, inter institutional conflicts, and inadequate monitoring. The paper concludes by advancing a series of recommendations that could be used to promote sustainable forest management in Cameroon. Key words: Sustainable development, forestry sector, sustainable forest management, Cameroon.
