Community forestry, which is considered as a stop-gap measure to the problems of deforestation and marginalization of premises, is a fundamental tool in local development. In Cameroon, the 1994 new law on forestry and its implementing order provide Cameroonian communities with a legal framework for the implementation of community forestry activities, through community forests. However, one of the problems that communities encounter during the creation of community forests is the insufficiency of financial and institutional means, and the distribution of incomes. This study aims at determining obstacles and opportunities related to the mobilization and the management of local resources by the communities of Mintom, within the framework of community forestry.
