Importance of Secondary Forests for the Collect of Useful Plants among Badjoue of the East Cameroon. Secondary forests are important components of many landscapes and livelihoods of the poor populations. Several researchers have investigated issues related to their importance for the forest people of central Africa. Very few studies have however been focused on the level of importance secondary forests and mature forests represent to the local population. The aim of this study was to estimate the use-value of secondary forests for the Badjoue people of East Cameroon. The study was conducted in the Doumo- Pierre village located at the northern periphery of the Dja fauna reserve. To estimate the importance of different vegetation types for the collection of useful plants, we carried out an ethnobonical surveys by making interviews with villagers. Our results show that secondary forests have important use-value for the gathering of the forest products by the forest people. The latter remain however strongly dependent on the mature forest for their livelihood as well. The implication of these results is that national forest conservation and management policies must growingly take into account local people's needs in the process of forest zoning.
