The Mist of Mwanenguba: the Lost Worlds of Cameroon

  • The African continent still contains numerous unexplored regions. Recently, one of these lost worlds was discovered in Cameroon, by a British researcher from the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens. At the foot of a volcano, Martin Cheek discovered a dense tropical forest, miraculously preserved and full of endemic plant species. In only a few expeditions, his team managed to inventory over two hundred previously unknown plant species, including orchids, types of coffee plants, and fig-trees.
    Their discoveries attracted the attention of other NGO’s, including CRES, an organization dedicated to the preservation of endangered animal species. Upon exploring this region, CRES members discovered that it constituted one of the rare sanctuaries where large, silver-faced monkeys called Drills, the cousins of the Mandrill, still live. In 1996, the Drill was designated by the IUCN as the African species most in need of protection.
    Following the steps of the botanist, Martin Cheek, and the primatologist, Bethan Morgan, we explore the enchanting region that surrounds Mount Manengouba - a volcano that has stood dormant for millenia. There, we discover its incredible floral and faunal richness as well as landscapes straight out of an Arthur Conan Doyle novel. We also encounter the Bakossis, a native tribe which believes that each tree of the forest houses the spirit of one of its ancestors, and which fights tirelessly to preserve its region from the increasingly numerous attacks of deforestation.
    Directors: Guillaume de Ginestel & Jean-Thomas Renaud

    It's great that this region has been "discovered" by a British researcher yet locals tell him exactly where to go 🙄

It doesn't grow well from seeds and wild harvested Pygeum was hurting natural stocks but since then they have learned how to grow it from cuttings and are establishing plantations.

      No. That's not what he said. "Cameroon is viewed as rife with corruption at all levels of government. In 1997, Cameroon established anti-corruption bureaus in 29 ministries, but only 25% became operational,[59] and in 2012, Transparency International placed Cameroon at number 144 on a list of 176 countries ranked from least to most corrupt" - Kew Gardens has been studying plants around the world since 1759. @@HRL.

      Are you sure you understand the sentences in his comment, or were you just quick to respond?
      All you have said is totally off the point.
      Kew garden could have been carrying out such studies for that long. From then to date.
      Are you saying there are no single biologists and scientists in the whole of the continent of Africa to carry along in these studies, not even one in Cameroon?
      If at all we rub all you had said in their face.
      Is there no corruption in the West or in England where Kew Garden is located? As it seems you have now painted a picture of the whole Cameroon corrupt, by your comment.
      Which country does not have its challenges in that area, or is it because some chose to keep theirs under wraps out of the glare of TV screens.

      The people in the Kew Gardens are not the ones who are responsible for the corruption in Cameroon. The fact there is so much corruption is one of the reasons they are doing their research, before corrupt Cameroonian scientists tell their leaders there are mineral deposits to be exploited.... @@HRL.

    Как можно открыть регион, где уже кто-то живет? Очень просто: его можно открыть для цивилизованного мира, который видит в дикой природе, прежде всего, красоту, а не источник жратвы и наживы. К сожалению, западные ученые до сих пор вынуждены защищать африканскую природу от уничтожающих ее африканцев. Я прошу прощения у героических рейнджеров африканских национальных парков, ежедневно рискующих жизнью ради сохранения дикой природы. Сказанное мною к ним, разумеется, не имеет отношения.

      Your applying our own cultural norms to one completely different from our own. There could be a large number of reasons for this. Perhaps it's the result of a superstition, or perhaps it takes better than other local sources of meat. It's important to not discount their cultural just because of some alien customs. Remember some of the things people used to do in the western world? Like bloodletting or ingesting mercury, we used to do some crazy stuff too.

      Maybe it can be illustrated with squirrels in North America. If you go into a deep old pine forest in North America about the only two animals to hunt are grouse and squirrels. If you go to deep tropical forest where the ground is nearly dark from shade your forced to hunt the animals of the canopy tree tops. Parrots and Monkeys, unfortunately people elsewhere feel squeamish about the little hands, I know I do and I also feel affection towards parrots. Its not my place to judge and protein is hard to come by in such deep forests.
