Profiling climate change vulnerability of forest indigenous communities in the Congo Basin

摘要: The livelihood strategies of indigenous communities in the Congo Basin are inseparable from forests, following their use forest ecosystem goods and services (FEGS). Climate change is expected to exert impacts on its ability provide FEGS. Thus, human livelihoods that depend these FEGS intricately vulnerable climate impacts. Using two main groups; Bantus Pygmies, high zone southern Cameroon; this paper examines nature pattern vulnerability different risks as well highlights how place settlement contributes people systems. Forests capitals make direct indirect contributions which exploited differently by groups. results show structured lifestyle, culture employed largely shaped forest. Pygmies living within forests engaged nomadic gathering foraging non-timber resources. prefer margins mostly preoccupied with sedentary farming, using additional opportunity. contrasting lifestyles have implications adaptation need be taken into considerations planning implementation national strategies.
