Description: The Ramsar Convention is an international treaty on the conservation and sustainable management of wetlands. The Convention entered into force in Cameroon on 20 July 2006. Since then, the country has had 7 Ramsar sites. Data from this layer were downloaded from the Ramsar site (www.ramsar.org) and boundaries were scanned from topographic maps and satellite imagery. Consequently, the limits presented are approximations of the state of the premises - information is essentially indicative in nature.

Description: Protected areas are characterized as geographical areas for the conservation of flora and fauna biodiversity. They are managed by the State and include national parks, forest and wildlife reserves, and sanctuaries of fauna and flora. The main difference between national parks and forest and wildlife reserves is that parks are developed to facilitate visits by tourists while reserves are only accessible to specialists working there.

Description: Limits of geographical spaces consisting of natural forests or reforestation areas reserved for conservation, research, or production functions. This layer includes integral ecological reserves, recreational forests, production reserves, and teaching and research forests. The data of this layer are updated continuously according to the availability of the new official documents, namely the notices to the public and the edges of creation whose descriptions are made based on topographic maps (INC) at the scale of 1: 200 000. Nevertheless, the lack of information on forest reserves at the level of MINFOF makes their follow-up difficult.

Description: Hunting areas are areas for the conservation and exploitation of wildlife, in which hunting, tourism, recreational or scientific activities are organized. These boundaries of hunting areas assigned to private companies are divided into two categories: hunting areas (ZICs) and hunting areas with community management (ZIGC) managed by village communities for the sustainable management of wildlife resources. This information layer contains the name, reference code, location, manager and purpose of each hunting area. They are continually updated according to the availability of new official documents, namely public notices and creation orders, the descriptions of which are based on topographic maps (INC ) at a scale of 1: 200,000.
