biodiversity hotspot, had very rich biodiversity. The mountain conferred on
this ecosystem a high degree of endemism and restricted ranges to many of the
globally threatened flora and fauna species found there. However, anthropogenic
pressures&nbsp;and climate change have led to significant decrease in the
natural vegetation,&nbsp;with just a few fragmented forests remaining,
resulting in&nbsp;habitat loss, increased human-wildlife conflicts and severe
poverty.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;

Bamunkumbit Integrated Community Forest (BICFOR) restoration initiative to
promote the conservation of biodiversity and restoration of ecosystem functions
of the area, while enhancing the livelihoods of the local population. This
wealth of this landscape, unfortunately is not well known due to limited
information.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;
line-height:normal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">This project therefore
seeks to raise awareness and build the capacity of local stakeholders in order
to increase the level of knowledge and consciousness of grassroots actors in
wildlife conservation and trigger national conservation interest within this
landscape. The planting of 10.000 diverse tree species (Mahogany, Prunus
Africana, Maesopsis, Wenge etc) will increase habitat cover for Chimpanzees,
baboons, monkeys and other species including birds, consequently increasing
forest cover and reducing the vulnerability of&nbsp; these species to human
attack. Trees will also restore the biodiversity and ecosystem functions of the
degraded areas and serve as carbon sink in the long run thereby helping to
regulate Climate Change. Also, the&nbsp;sustainable&nbsp;harvesting and
marketing of Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) for medicine, food etc
including honey production will enhance the livelihood of the local population
within the first three years after the implementation of this project and
create&nbsp;sustainable&nbsp;green&nbsp; jobs for the local population
especially women and smallholder farmers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;
line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">To
ensure the effective implementation and sustainability of the project, we are
going to mobilize and engage local stakeholders (hunters, traditional
authorities, women, youths and indigenous Mbororo people) at all stages of the
project.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
