PROLONG AND INTENS HEAT; VEGETATION

Just like every other part of the world, communities within the Mount Cameroon Area share an equal or similar faith. Mindful of the variability in the effects of climate change either as a result of intense heat (drought, temperature increase etc)  or rain fall (flood, erosion etc) the inhabitants of the over 79 communities in this area including the evergreen Tropical Rain Forest suffer in their own way.

With the intense and prolong heat trees shade their leaves to reduce the amount of water sent out in the process of transpiration but this was not enough as as trees turn to loss all their leave while some died in the process. Due to the intense and long process, the dark primary forest for the first time witness the penetration of direct sunlight. Through this process, the undergrowth also began to wither looking like a cleared field ready for planting.

With the coming of the very early rains in the month of March, the vegetation is regaining its place and the forest seems like nothing had happened.

Following the unprecedented characteristic of natural phenomena, concern is situated on doubts:
 
- What will happen is this repeats it self ? 
- What if the incident it goes longer than this one?
- What will be the position of the most vulnerable forest dependent communities?
- Will some organisms in the ecosystem lose their habitat?
