AB Cameroon’s forests are estimated to comprise  19631000 ha of which 4 percent are reserved for  communities and the rest are allocated to reserves  or private commercial timber operations.  Within Central Africa Cameroon is considered a  leader in forest and resource-related development  policies. It was the first country in Central Africa to  allocate concessions through a competitive bidding  process allow communities to request the setting  aside of areas as “community forest” create a zoning  plan for the dense forests in the Southern parts of  the country and to put substantial taxes on access  to resource extraction areas. Cameroon’s significant  forest zone population lends itself to the  development of SMFEs (small and medium forest  enterprises) and community enterprises that  complement the large-scale mainly export-oriented  concession forest industry
