Changes in land use are believed to play a significant role in societies across most of the Earth's surface, which is often overlooked. With a large amount of land use changes occurring between different regions, they have all in turn had some sort of altering effect on societies. These changes in land use have caused many instances of reform among communities, which have also changed the livelihoods of many. One of the most important and widely debated topics in land use change is deforestation, which has played a key role in many indigenous societies, both as a form of export measures, but also as a form of employment for many indigenous peoples. This is a relevant topic. For many researchers, deforestation is used as a process to free space from the territory for the extraction of natural resources, but it also contributes negatively by emitting increasing quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere. “Each year, approximately 13 million hectares of tropical forest are destroyed, driving 14,000-40,000 species to extinction and emitting 2.1 Gt of carbon, or 17% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.” (Bellasen and Gitz). In my studies I prepare to conclude with evidence from peer-reviewed literature, primary resources, interviews and even graphs implicit in the data, given the articulation of the effects of deforestation and how it is dominating impacts in the southern region of Cameroon . My research question that I intend to address is; With alarming rates of deforestation in this region, what impact does this have on global-scale interconnections between diverse communities? I will underline the importance of this measure on a global scale and will measure the means necessary to contribute to reducing the level...... half of the document ...... already from the REDD+ program (reduction of emissions from deforestation and degradation) (Hubert ) Works cited Afrol News - Forests and deforestation in Africa: the waste of an immense resource.
