	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and northern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

	afrol News - Forests and deforestation in Africa - the wasting of an immense resource
		African forests include dry tropical forests in the Sahel, Eastern and Southern Africa, humid tropical forests in Western and Central Africa montane forests, diverse sub-tropical forest and woodland formations in Northern Africa and the southern tip of the continent, as well as mangroves in the coastal zones.
		At the height of glaciations, rain forests were probably restricted to three main refuge areas, one in the north-eastern Congo basin, a second in Gabon, southern Cameroon and Bioko and a third in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
		Cameroon contains a variety of forest habitats ranging from montane forests, which are noted for their globally unique endemic species, to Atlantic coastal forests, which are rich in plants, to inland Cameroon-Congolese forests, which are renowned for their mammalian diversity.

	THE EXPLOITATION OF PRUNUS AFRICANA ON THE ISLAND OF BIOKO, EQUATORIAL GUINEA
		Bioko island itself is dominated by three volcanic peaks, Pico de Basilé (3,010m) in the north, and Pico Biao (2,010m) and Gran Caldera de Luba (2,261m) in the south.
		The flora of Bioko is remarkable similar to that of the mainland, notably that of Mount Cameroon (Exell, 1952).
		The colonial economy of Equatorial Guinea was dominated by the cultivation of cocoa (on Bioko) and timber exploitation (Rio Muni), and in the post-war era, it was one of the richest countries in Africa.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Mount Cameroon and Bioko montane forests (AT0121)
		However, the forests of Bioko and Mt Cameroon are inadequately protected and threatened by conversion to agricultural lands, logging and hunting (bushmeat).
		The Mount Cameroon and Bioko Montane Forests ecoregion is located in a volcanic chain that extends northeast along the border between Cameroon and Nigeria, and southwest towards the Guinea islands of São Tomé, Príncipe and Annobon.
		The Mount Cameroon and Bioko Montane Forests ecoregion is considered distinct from the Cameroonian Highlands because of the younger age and activity of Mount Cameroon, reflected in the distributions (or absence) of many restricted-range taxa.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Cross-Sanaga-Bioko coastal forests (AT0107)
		The Cross-Sanaga-Bioko Coastal Forests ecoregion comprises the lowland and coastal forests of southeastern Nigeria, southwestern Cameroon, and the lowlands of the island of Bioko.
		Mt. Cameroon and Bioko are volcanoes, and in consequence adjacent parts of the ecoregion have soils, rocks and fl sand beaches derived from pyroclastic lava and ash.
		The forests of the Cross River National Park in Nigeria are a particularly important conservation area, with populations of lowland gorilla and chimpanzee.

		Geographically, these highlands are connected to offshore Bioko and are part of a continuous volcanic intrusion that extends inland as far as the Adamawa plateau and the Mandara Mountains in the northwest at 11°N. The remainder of the country comprises mostly flat lowlands undulating between 800m and sea-level.

		Cameroon, straddling the border between West and Central Africa, is the sudden focus of a birding revival.

		The forest sanctuary is serving as a springboard for the projects intensive education campaigns.
		Its presence in a partially exploited forest still inhabited by wild chimpanzees is discouraging poaching in the vicinity and may increase the chances of the local wild population.
		This is in part because of the proximity of block of montane forests (Mount Cameroon is in the project area) and extensive lowland forest.

	Gulf of Guinea Islands' Biodiversity Network: Bioko
		The island is part of the volcanic chain which includes Mount Cameroon, and São Tomé and Principé and Annobon and is dominated by two volcanic peaks, Pico de Basilé (3,010m) in the north and Pico Biao (2,010m) and Gran Caldera de Luba (2,261m) in the south.
		The majority of the lowland forest skirting the highlands, with the exception of the south of the island, has been converted to cocoa plantations but in many areas the majority of the original forest canopy trees have been maintained to provide shade.
		The continental territory of Equatorial Guinea is a rectangular-shaped piece of land of 26,000 km², bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east and south by Gabon and on the north by Cameroon.

	Equal Earth - Paintings - Afrotropic
		Large areas of swamp forest remain in the Niger Delta, with heavy fragmentation occurring on the fringes due to oil palm plantations, commercial rice farming, and wood gathering.
		Although some of the small forest patches are protected reserves and burial groves, many are poorly managed due to a lack of Forestry Department resources.
		Because these forests lack surface water, people have not tried to settle here and most of the habitat is still in a natural, undisturbed state.

		Like the native forest buffalo (Syncerus caffer) that once populated Bioko's highlands (Butynski, Schaaf and Hearn, 1997), hunting may soon drive Preuss's guenon to extinction on Bioko Island.
		During 1997, however, new roads were put into the montane forests of Pico Basile to harvest Prunus africana trees for their valuable bark, giving hunters additional access to Preuss's habitat.

	CURRENT RESEARCH ISSUES AND PROSPECTS FOR CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
		Specifically referring to non-wood forest products, Fa (1991) stated that although "certain products were used by the forest dwelling peoples in Equatorial Guinea, there is little or no recent data on preferred species or their uses".
		The continental territory of Equatorial Guinea is a rectangular-shaped piece of land of 26 000 km², bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east and south by Gabon and on the north by Cameroon.
		The rattan trade in the Rio Muni region seems to be in some ways less complicated than that of Cameroon, yet paradoxically more advanced in the respect that there are more formal workshops and artisan businesses using it than roadside and rather ad hoc businesses, as in Cameroon and Nigeria in particular.
