Cameroon’s government has now reversed a decision that would have allowed industrial logging in one of central Africa’s least-exploited forests, after complaints from local communities and NGOs. People like the Banen rely on the Ebo Forest for their survival, and it forms a key element of their identity. It’s also home to previous wildlife such as rare gorillas, chimpanzees and giant frogs. Chief Victor Yetina tells Focus on Africa what the announcement means for the communities who live there. (Photo: Logging in Cameroon. Credit: Brent Stirton/Getty Images)
