The book titled ' The Ecology of Birds' is aimed at examining the ecology of birds in human community. Birds are ecologically very important especially in forest regeneration, but not every person appreciates this value due to the destructive ability of some species of birds to crops. This characteristic in particular has caused tremendous crop-yield declines in some parts of the world when the bird-pest population increases. This survey targeted the exploration of the relationship that exist between birds and human activity, specifically residential and farming areas. Additionally, the study revealed the attraction of birds to some human activities, such as cereal farming in certain communities. Furthermore, the usefulness of bird calls for local day-time indication to the local farming communities was revealed by the survey.

The book explains various ways antelope population uses the woodland savanna ecosystem. Wildlife population reduction in the tropics has been caused by poverty, corruption, habitat loss, and poaching. However, bush-meat is a delicacy in many countries found in the developing world. Unfortunately, wildlife farming is still a very remote idea in many communities, hence, whenever bush-meat is needed for consumption the people would turn to the wild forest for poaching. Nonetheless, the Savanna ecosystem is not rich in vegetation, rainfall, moisture, and nutrients compared to the rainforest yet it homes a hug population of wildlife especially the antelopes. The book further examines how antelopes make use of different ecological factors such as vegetation, landscape, weather, for the welfare of their social activities and population distribution. The behavioral flexibility of most antelope species to arid climatic conditions of the woodland savanna ecosystem undoubtedly has favored their hug population distribution in many countries in the tropics.

Das Buch "Women Marginalization in Conservation and Tourism Services" (Marginalisierung von Frauen in Naturschutz- und Tourismusdiensten) untersucht die verschiedenen Formen der Diskriminierung von Frauen in Naturschutzdiensten in Buea, Republik Kamerun. In den meisten Teilen Kameruns wird den Frauen eine besondere Leidenschaft für das Wohlergehen der Umwelt nachgesagt. Leider hat die langjährige Tradition der Ungleichheit zwischen den Geschlechtern in Kamerun die effektive und maximale Beteiligung von Frauen an der Bewirtschaftung der Regenwaldressourcen durch die Naturschutz- und Tourismusverwaltungsdienste stark vernachlässigt. In der Vergangenheit waren die kamerunischen Frauen jedoch nicht bildungsfähig genug, um in diesen Verwaltungsbereichen ein Mitspracherecht zu haben, aber ihre Ausbildung in vielen Studienbereichen hat heute gezeigt, dass sie talentiert und fähig sind, sogar die Spitzenpositionen in diesen Bereichen zu verwalten. In diesem Buch wird weiter erläutert, dass die Einbeziehung von Frauen in die Verwaltung des Regenwaldes die Abholzung verringern würde. Außerdem würde eine Berücksichtigung von Frauen im Bereich des Wildtourismus in Kamerun dazu führen, dass diese Branche mehr Einkommen für die Nation generiert.

Il libro "La marginalizzazione delle donne nei servizi di conservazione e turismo" esamina le varie forme di discriminazione femminile nei servizi di conservazione a Buea, nella Repubblica del Camerun. Nella maggior parte del Camerun, le donne sono note per la loro particolare passione per il benessere ambientale. Purtroppo, la lunga tradizione di disuguaglianza tra i sessi in Camerun ha trascurato pesantemente l'effettiva e massima partecipazione delle donne nella gestione delle risorse della foresta pluviale attraverso i servizi di conservazione e amministrazione del turismo. Tuttavia, in passato le donne camerunesi non erano abbastanza istruite per avere voce in capitolo in questi settori gestionali, ma oggi la loro formazione in molti campi di studio ha rivelato che hanno talento e sono in grado di gestire anche le posizioni di vertice in questi settori. Questo libro spiega inoltre che l'inserimento delle donne nei servizi di gestione della foresta pluviale ridurrebbe la deforestazione. Inoltre, una considerazione sull'aumento delle donne nei servizi turistici della fauna selvatica in Camerun spingerebbe questa industria verso una maggiore generazione di reddito per la nazione.

Le livre "Marginalisation des femmes dans les services de conservation et de tourisme", examine les différentes formes de discrimination des femmes dans les services de conservation à Buea, République du Cameroun. Dans la plupart des régions du Cameroun, les femmes sont considérées comme ayant une passion particulière pour le bien-être environnemental. Malheureusement, la longue tradition d'inégalité entre les sexes au Cameroun a grossièrement négligé la participation effective et maximale des femmes dans la gestion des ressources de la forêt tropicale à travers les services de conservation et d'administration du tourisme. Cependant, dans le passé, les femmes camerounaises n'étaient pas suffisamment autonomes sur le plan éducatif pour avoir leur mot à dire dans ces secteurs de gestion, mais leur éducation dans de nombreux domaines d'étude a révélé aujourd'hui qu'elles sont talentueuses et capables de gérer même les postes de haut niveau dans ces secteurs. Ce livre explique en outre que l'incorporation des femmes dans les services de gestion de la forêt tropicale réduirait la déforestation. De même, une réflexion sur l'augmentation du nombre de femmes dans les services de tourisme animalier au Cameroun permettrait à cette industrie de générer plus de revenus pour la nation.

O livro "Women Marginalization in Conservation and Tourism Services", examina as várias formas de discriminação das mulheres nos serviços de conservação em Buea, República dos Camarões. Na maior parte dos Camarões, as mulheres têm sido notadas como tendo uma paixão especial pelo bem-estar ambiental. Infelizmente, a longa tradição de desigualdade de género nos Camarões negligenciou grosseiramente a participação efectiva e máxima das mulheres na gestão dos recursos da floresta tropical através dos serviços de conservação e administração turística. No entanto, no passado, as mulheres camaronesas não tinham poder educativo suficiente para terem uma palavra a dizer nestes sectores de gestão, mas a sua educação em muitos campos de estudo revelou hoje que são talentosas e capazes de gerir mesmo os cargos de topo nestes sectores. Este Livro explica ainda que a incorporação de mulheres nos serviços de gestão das florestas tropicais reduziria a desflorestação. Além disso, uma consideração sobre o aumento das mulheres nos serviços de turismo de vida selvagem nos Camarões conduziria esta indústria à velocidade de mais geração de rendimentos para a nação.

The Book ¿ Human-wildlife Conflict¿ explores and explains the extent which the conflict between the local farmers and wildlife species in farmlands in Cameroon is identified as one of the most critical threats to many wildlife species and the ecological systems. Some of the methods like toxic pesticides used by the local farmers to kill and deter wildlife from crop-raiding are ecologically unacceptable. These pesticides are believed to have killed some of this wildlife species especially the rodents, snakes, monkeys and birds and rendered the surrounding fresh water ecosystem to these farms polluted through surface run-off during heavy rainfall. The Book further explains the consequences of wildlife population decline and extirpation of some wildlife species in some parts of the country if the state government and the conservation stakeholders fail to mitigate this conflict by protecting the animals and crops in the farms through incentives, compensations, and extensive education to the farmers on the disadvantages of using very toxic pesticides in local farms to kill and deter crop-raiders.
