The familiar cycle of poverty, lack of adequate government oversight, and the surge in development associated with global markets invariably take their toll on the environment. This detailed report provides tables, maps, and statistics of the impact of logging in Cameroon, based on data gathered by the World Resources Institute and other scientific sources. Separate sections assess the effects of logging on wildlife, other valuable forest products, the export market, current legislation, and enforcement of laws against illegal logging. Annotation c.
