The Bushmeat Information Management and Analysis Project (IMAP): A recommendation report Prepared by Lauriane CAYET, GIS analyst For the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF) and the Global Forest Watch program of World Resources Institute (GFW-WRI) January 10th 2005.

Rational and backgrounds International trade and habitat loss are not the primary causes of the Bushmeat Crisis in Central Africa. Non-sustainable hunting practices for food, a substantial bushmeat trade, and a galloping demography compromise wildlife populations the most. The problem is complex and finding solutions is a huge challenge in an unstable political context exacerbated by other social and economic issues. The Bushmeat Crisis Task Force is a consortium of conservation organizations and scientists dedicated to the conservation of wildlife populations threatened by commercial hunting of wildlife for sale as meat. This organization has developed an initiative called the Bushmeat Information Management and Analysis Project (IMAP) to create a central repository of information on the causes and solutions of bushmeat hunting, consumption, and trade in subSaharan Africa, with a particular focus on Central Africa and protected areas. It was initiated to respond to the request of BCTF’s Supporting Members who would like to have a geographic overview of the problem in Central Africa. They look forward to seeing a tool that could support them to better understand the issue, to find and prioritize appropriate solutions, to raise public awareness, and to advocate policies which prevent illegal and/or unsustainable hunting and commercial wildlife trade in Central Africa. Seven themes have been consistently requested as a high priority (Annex 1). The primary output of this initiative was designed by Andrew Tobiason as a web-based tool with three primary components: (1) a searchable bushmeat reference library and projects database (2) a geo-referenced map of worldwide databases related to bushmeat (including the reference library and projects database), and (3) a Central African GIS component that can be divided into (3.1) an interactive map server and (3.2) a data gathering and sharing tool (data warehouse). BCTF signed an MOU with GFW to jointly fundraise and hire a GIS analyst (Lauriane Cayet) to support developing the GIS component of this Bushmeat IMAP project. This report summarizes Lauriane Cayet achievements and recommendations on the Bushmeat IMAP component. The GIS analyst’s main responsibility was to collect and compile the most current and accurate versions of the pre-defined, current GIS thematic layers. She also had to identify bushmeat specialists and GIS data producers and providers, as well as to promote the IMAP concept. She conducted a 3-weeks field trip to Libreville, Brazzaville, and Kinshasa from Oct 26 until Nov 15, in order to achieve most of the required results and tasks. This report aims to present her achievements and provide the BCTF with recommendations to the next phase of the project.

Important table notes: Grey shaded areas means this dataset is particularly out of date and clearly needs to be updated – Bold framing means the dataset can be updated by 2006 because there is a an on-going or about to end project – Double framing means there is expectations – ? : No data. Present limitations: (1) Digital data are only found within international NGOs, international/European/US institutions, and within local governmental agencies. Some international logging companies such as Rougier/Gabon or CIB in Congo have significant GIS capacity with updated and accurate data of their concessions but are not easily accessible.

4 (2) Most of the time, there are no metadata files but often a vague oral explanation. Data are not very good quality data (e.g. the digitizing work was done without using the snapping tolerance tool). (3) Accurate Geographic information produced by international field-based NGOs is mostly limited to specific sites, rather than regional or national level. For instance, WWFGamba/Gabon uses the cyber tracker to update their parks’s roads dataset. WWFMinkébé/Gabon uses satellite images to update their parks’roads dataset. WCS/Gabon digitizes roads from satellite images near Lopé National Park. There are 2 reasons why dataset produced by international NGOs are site-level based: (1) they have limited grants and they are small structures without much capacity, which cannot make a national-level GIS project durable or (2) they believe that considering Central African political, social and economic context, only conservation at protected areas or landscape – visions are possible and effective. Real opportunities coming: (1) There are two National-level comprehensive GIS on-going projects, which will fill the gaps of Cameroon, Congo, and just a few gaps in DRC: (1) WRI is supporting the MINEF in Cameroon to build-up a GIS in order to monitor illegal logging activities and be conformed to the World Bank requirements. A first version is due by January 2005 (Interactive Atlas of Cameroon v.1). (2) WRI is also supporting MEFE to build a GIS to help the Ministry to enforce forest legislation (Application des techniques de télédétection et SIG pour renforcer la legislation forestière en République du Congo). (3) SYGIAP project which aims to delineate the World Heritage Sites of DRC is almost done. A first version was expected in Dec of 2004 according to Pierre Defourny (see contact-info Annex 2). (2) Gabon is willing to design and raise fund to finance a project which goal is to digitize all the roads of the country from satellite images (personal communication with Nathalie Nyare – see contact-info Annex 2). They just complete their population count thus those data will be available in 2005, and BCTF might be able to access to it BCTF/GFW. Additionally, the GIS lab of the Ministry of Forest Economy updates the logging concessions dataset each time they receive updated logging concessions information (the new forestry code impose the termination of the old logging permits at the end of their term and the creation of larger Concessions Forestières sous Aménagement Durable). Even if the data collected are currently mostly out of date, some important gaps in Cameroon, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo can be filled by 2006 and some in early 2005. There are real expectations that Gabon succeeds in fundraising and implementing a project to update its out of date roads dataset. However, some gaps may still persist - especially in Equatorial Guinea and CAR. 2. A network of bushmeat specialists and GIS data producers defined During the 4 first months, Lauriane Cayet communicated by email with most of the people listed in Annex 2. She had the opportunity to meet most of them during her field mission to Central Africa. The contact-people work for International field-based NGOs, local institutions, international organizations, and European and American institutions. They were mostly very interested by the project and willing to exchange the data as it becomes available, but no real information exchange procedures were set-up. Lauriane Cayet suggested that BCTF would probably approach them again to follow-up with the project in-mid 2005.

3. the Bushmeat IMAP project promoted The objective and main goals of the Bushmeat IMAP project were explained to all people met. Most of the supporting members had heard about the BCTF but they were not familiar with the bushmeat IMAP project. Some individuals in local institutions, ECOFAC, and USAID had never heard about BCTF. BCTF information packets containing a fact sheet on the IMAP project were also distributed. Unexpected result USAID/CARPE/UMD is also developing most of those layers at sub-regional scale. As a result, there is a conflict of interests. Diane Davies, Didier Devers (UMD/CARPE), and Nicodem Tchamou USAID/CARPE were quite surprised when Lauriane Cayet presented them the bushmeat IMAP map server. However, she highlighted on the fact that this map server’s aim was to support bushmeat-interested people. Additionally, the GIS analyst stressed that displaying same data layers on different websites, which target different Human Resources concerned communities is valuable to disseminate widely geographic information.

6 Recommendations 1. Refine slightly the project design of the bushmeat IMAP’s GIS component The Bushmeat IMAP GIS component’s objectives fit well within the CARPE/USAID framework, therefore BCTF and WRI should write down a proposal and submit it to CARPE/USAID (table2). However, the project design currently seeks to collect, compile, and display within an interactive web map server (ArcIMS) some of the GIS layers that UMD is compiling and displaying within their CARPE Mapper website. Our activities and the friendly-user interactive map server sound really close to some of UMD’s activities and the CARPE Mapper and this project is already under CARPE/USAID funding. If we want to write a proposal to USAID/CARPE and ask for a grant, we must take into account this conflict of interest. BCTF and GFW should refine a little its project design and make sure it does not overlap with other USAID funded projects. This finding can be considered as an opportunity because BCTF and GFW could concentrate on developing more specific bushmeat related datasets and have an agreement with UMD to be able to develop the datasets they are not interested in and collect those they want to compile by themselves. As stated in table 3, BCTF should collect the final complete sub-regional dataset as it becomes available by UMD/CARPE and focus on developing the other GIS layers BCTF is only interested in. Table 2: The Bushmeat IMAP component’s objectives fit well within the CARPE/USAID framework. General strategic objective: Reduce the rate of forest and loss of biodiversity through increased local, national and regional natural resource management capacity Intermediate Result 3: Natural Resources Monitoring Institutionalized SubIR 3.1: Capacity to monitor at local, national, and regional level is increased

SubIR 3.3: Monitoring network covering region is established

SubIR 3.4: Reports on status and changes in resources produced in forms accessible to participants in natural resources governance for decision-making

Buhsmeat IMAP objectives: Develop the FIRST Internet tool to centralize and network GIS and text databases on bushmeat, and monitor the bushmeat crisis at a regional level. Train stakeholders in region to participate in data sharing and conduct research and analysis.

Buhsmeat IMAP objectives: Develop a network of institutions, organizations, key field specialists, and advocacy groups, which would provide geographic data and nongeographic data relevant to addressing the bushmeat crisis.

Buhsmeat IMAP objectives: Display information findings and projects in the context of natural resources and development indicators, using an interactive web map server (ArcIMS). Provide hyperlinks to providers and a warehouse page to disseminate BCTF own GIS products.

Note: Shaded areas correspond to USAID/CARPE framework and non-shaded areas are the Bushmeat IMAP GIS component’s objectives.

8 2. Guidance

Second exploratory mission – Spring 2005 The project requires a second exploratory mission: (1) To assess the feasibility of compiling target 2 GIS layers summarized in Table 2. (2) To strengthen the relations made with the field people because overseas communication is not easy. (3) To collect updates, explore other organizations/institutions that could not be met while the first mission (Ministry of Mining, ADIE Gabon, ECOFAC Gabon which centralize all ECOFAC offices information, met again people who agreed to give some data but could not make it), determine The objective is to assess the feasibility to collect target 2 datasets and also seek other GIS layers of interest, which implies that the GIS analyst should mostly focus on and have a good knowledge of the bushmeat crisis issue. Continuation of the project – Summer 2005 (2 years) To gather the Target 1 GIS layers, the project should last at least 2 years because the GIS datasets need to be updated continuously as information becomes available and the national-level GIS data for Congo will be available in late summer 2005. Gabon might have implemented its GIS project in 2006. The project should begin right in summer 2005 in order to let the national-level GIS projects (Congo and Cameroon) being achieved or well in the ground and allow UMD to develop/update more GIS datasets. 3. Hiring a GIS specialist to implement the project – Summer 2005 The best option is to find a long-term field-based specialist, working intermittently. It could be in the form of a focal point, because it is very difficult to collect and compile target 2 datasets from overseas and more and more geospatial information will be available within the next two years. The field-based specialist could work along with the network of bushmeat specialists, institutions and organizations, identified during the field trip of Ms Cayet and listed in Annex 2. The fieldbased consultant could benefit from “the bushmeat team” of each ADIE’s national agencies (the network defined by the REIMP project). The GIS analyst met M. Gaston Andoka, the focal point of ADIE-Congo. ADIE-Congo seems to have a real functional structure to work as required by phase 1 of the REIMP project (information exchange framework/exchange mechanisms and policies, capacity building, network of institutions and organizations which are involved in environmental information management, biodiversity conservation and forestry). M. Andoka was very interested to build-up a partnership in order to collect bushmeat-related information. He proposed to help writing a proposal to USAID/CARPE and fundraise with BCTF.

Conclusion The mission was satisfactory since most of the data required for the first version of the Bushmeat IMAP interactive map maker were collected. Updating this tool will be possible as more geospatial information developments are under way in Gabon and the Republic of Congo. The current project design should be slightly redefined in order to avoid writing a proposal to USAID which will compete with other CARPE-financed projects. As a result, BCTF should assess the possibility to develop more specific bushmeat/wildfife GIS datasets. BCTF should maintain solid sharing partnership to be able to update the data within the first version of the map maker. Hence, hiring a consultant to work closely with the locally-based institutions to update the first version of the map maker would be the next step.
