The Mbéré Valley National Park is a national park in eastern-central Cameroon.[1]
The park is located in the Mbéré department of the Adamawa Region. The western and northern borders form the river Koudini. From there, the River Bilao forms the northern border with the River Bassara. From the Bassara over the Mbéré to the Ngou, the park's eastern border runs. The most southerly point in the east is the waterfalls of Lanchrenon. The southern border runs from Bafouri via Borgou to the border of the Mbéré district. From there the western border runs back to the Koudini.[2]
The park was established on 4 February 2004 according to Decree N ° 2004/0352 / PM with the following aims:
Construction work in the park requires an official approval after environmental impact assessment. A development plan should regulate the rights of the local population. The plan defines a buffer zone of the park, as well as accompanying measures to promote socioeconomic activities for residents. The Ministry of Wild Animals also set up an administrative seat at the park. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is responsible for further regulations on the principle of urgency.[2]
The area of the park can be described as a mixture of tree sway, wooded savannah and in the higher locations tree galleries. The vegetation is strongly influenced by the tree species Uapaca togoensis.[3]
In addition to the highly endangered Western mountain reedbuck (Redunca fulvorufula adamauae), one finds the olive baboon (Papio anubis), the sitatunga, the Defassa waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus defassa) and the bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus). From time to time, kobs (Kobus kob) and roan antelopes (Hippotragus equinus) pass through the park.[3]
