Biological invasions are recognized as a problem in Cameron and managing this constitutes an identified priority f or intervention in the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (Government of Cameroon, NBSAP II, 2013). It is apparent that many aggressive biological invaders not yet established in Cameroon can and will, if introduced, exploit and modify habitats and affect human development sectors. There is an urgent need therefore to anticipate biological invaders likely to cause future problems in order to undertake preventative action and provide prompt responses.
Commissioned under the GEF/UNEP, with the Ministry of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED) as the National Executing Agency and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER) as Head of Component T ask 2, the main objective of this study is to produce a manual detailing recommended contingency planning process for new introduced species incursions that could affect Cameroon over the next ten years, generic Emergency Response exercises f or a range of high risk organism types and a PowerPoint presentation on the manual. The thrust of the study is to strengthen the overall efforts of Cameroon in biosecurity border controls to surveillance capability, and the ability to prevent and respond quickly in effectively eradicating incoming invaders.
