The development of a third world country requires a conscious balance between different planning and policy issues, such as population growth rate, gross national income, self-reliance and long-term sustainable ecological development. This paper reports on a cross-disciplinary project to design a decision support system (DSS) that aims to assist government policy makers in planning the regional...

Landscape-scale ecological networks (ENs) are interconnected conservation corridors of high-quality habitat used to mitigate the adverse effects of landscape fragmentation and to connect with protected areas. The effectiveness of ENs for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem function has been challenged. Here we show how an extensive system of ENs of remnant historic land was put in place at ...

The characterization of African bonytongue Heterotis niloticus fish farming was conducted in the Bi-modal agro-ecological zone Cameroon from January to May 2021, Thirty-two farmers were interviewed and SPSS 6.2 Version used analyse data. results showed that majority (81%) are men above 51 years, all whom Christians with more than fifty percent them married. About 43% have university level educa...

Tropical agro-forest landscapes are global priority areas for biodiversity conservation. Little is known about the ability of these landscapes to sustain large late successional forest trees upon which much forest biodiversity depends. These landscapes are subject to fragmentation and additional habitat degradation which may limit tree recruitment and thus compromise numerous ecosystem services...

A total of 267 rural scavenging chickens were examined from October 1998 to August 1999 in four woredas (districts) of the Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Of these chickens, 243 (91.01%) were found to harbour one to nine different helminth parasites and 24 (8.99%) were free of helminth parasites. A significant difference (P < 0.01) was found between the prevalence rates of helminth parasites in the di...

The practice of crop rotation is known to significantly influence soil nutrient dynamics, depending on the type and crops involved. As such, a field study was conducted find out effect continuous cassava-maize rotation, where mineral fertilizer only applied maize crop, nutrients dynamics quality thereof under varying periods. revealed that Soil Organic Matter (SOM) levels nutrients, such as tot...

The Cameroonian flora has a very high biodiversity that remains largely unexplored. It contains many grasses can be used for sports lawns, but are currently underutilized. In order to contribute the improvement of quality nine local grass taxa from agro-ecological zone with bimodal rainfall in Cameroon were evaluated their potential sporting use natural lawns. method Study and Control Group Var...

in this research, in order to investigate risks land hazards involved in land use, overlay method was employed, check list method was used to assess the environmental impacts, and to determine the adverse effects and relative priority of modifications, matrix method was applied. the process includes understanding technical specifications of the proposed projects and the environment under threat...
