Le Cameroun est le pays pionnier de la foresterie communautaire en Afrique centrale. En promulguant, en 1994, une loi autorisant les communautés locales à gérer elles-mêmes leurs forêts, l'état s'engageait dans un long processus de décentralisation. L'asbl Nature+, l'ONG SNV et Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech (Université de Liège) furent parmi les premiers acteurs à accompagner les communautés rurales dans leurs démarches d'autogestion. En 2010, ces trois organisations, grâce à un financement du Fonds Forestier du Bassin du Congo, ont mis en commun leurs expériences au sein du projet "Partenariats pour le Développement des Forêts Communautaires". Ce projet a appuyé le développement technique, institutionnel et organisationnel de regroupements de forêts communautaires dans trois zones (Ngambé Tikar, Lomié et Ebolowa). Visant le renforcement des capacités selon le principe de "l'apprentissage par l'action encadrée", le projet a permis de rendre les associations locales davantage autonomes. Ce livre nous fait découvrir le quotidien des forêts communautaires dont il expose sans ambages les forces et les faiblesses. Richement illustré, il prend le pari que la beauté des images suscitera intérêt et questionnement.

The concept of sustainable development is a source of inspiration for many, who see it as a call to cooperative action. In practice, however, policies intended to further this goal often generate conflicts of interest. The ensuing disputes occur among governmental organizations, but disputes also arise between public authorities, private interest groups, and the environmental movement. In the opinion of the authors, the fact that environmental policy can provoke such conflict may be attributed largely to decision making procedures in our society. Accordingly, the authors are convinced that a new approach to managing environmental disputes is needed in order to deal effectively with environmental problems. Indeed, this book presents a viable alternative, which is called network management.

In 2015, the General Assembly of State Parties to the World Heritage Convention passed a ground-breaking Sustainable Development policy that seeks to bring the World Heritage system into line with the UN’s sustainable development agenda (UNESCO 2015). World Heritage and Sustainable Development provides a broad overview of the process that brought about the new policy and the implications of its enactment. The book is divided into four parts. Part I puts the policy in its historical and theoretical context, and Part II offers an analysis of the four policy dimensions on which the policy is based – environmental sustainability, inclusive social development, inclusive economic development and the fostering of peace and security. Part III presents perspectives from IUCN, ICOMOS and ICCROM – the three Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee, and Part IV offers ‘case study’ perspectives on the practical implications of the policy. Contributions come from a wide range of experienced heritage professionals and practitioners who offer both ‘inside’ perspectives on the evolution of the policy and ‘outside’ perspectives on its implications. Combined, they present and analyse the main ideas, debates and implications of the policy change. This book is key reading for all heritage professionals interested in developing a better understanding of the new Sustainable Development policy. It is also essential reading for scholars and students working in the area.
