The workshop scheduled for November 30^th 2012, at Destinées Hotel, Ebolowa Cameroon, will focus only on MINFOF staff, with the aim of permitting them to benefit from the training of trainers designed for this purpose, to share their opinions and views to well address the forest law enforcement to combat illegal logging.

This project was designed to contribute for the improvement of the governance and transparency of timber logging and trade in Cameroon and thus to support the resolution of problems related to unsustainable timber harvest, weak forest law enforcement and illegal timber trade. Under the administrative supervision of MINFOF, the project is funded by the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and executed by TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network.
