Jacques Keumo Kuenbou is a Cameroonian PhD student at the Department of Agricultural Economics since May 2019. His research is focused on the management of natural resources. He obtained his engineering degree in forestry at the University of Dschang in Cameroon in January 2015, after which he worked on wildlife conservation across ecosystems from savannah to forest in Cameroon.
As hunting for bushmeat is one of the most important threats to the survival of wildlife in the African context, research is directed towards ecological monitoring and ways of mitigating the impact of communities on these resources. Taking into account that rural populations are dependent on these resources for their survival, the objective of his research is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a new mode of management of these resources, called reciprocal environmental agreements, which aims to reduce the pressure on wildlife by supporting people in carrying out activities that would allow them to increase their income and be less dependent on wildlife.
