Environmental Resources Management in the Soudanian Savanah Area of Northern Cameroon: Assessment of Alternatives Using a "modèle de normes minimales de sécurité". The world is more and more concerned with the everwidening gap between available natural resources and the world's population growth. Two important international meetings testify this concern: the International Conference on the Environment (3) and the one held in Cairo in 1994 on Population and Development. Improved land-use planning at the national level should be undertaken as an important step in the biodiversity conservation process. People need to use natural resources, so ways must be found to use those resources in the least destructive manner. Biodiversity conservation planners need to consider the interactions between population needs and natural resources conservation. The comparison of the economic value of the conservation of protected areas with other alternatives of lands used indicated that: the economic value of the conservation is twenty times greater than the economic value of extensive livestock traditional bovine breeding. Although all the elements were not included, the estimated economic value of land for conservation is about 50% of the land's economic value for agriculture. Recommendations have been made from these different results.
