CAD is also promoting community-based restoration of degraded forest ecosystems, through nursery establishment and tree planting. For instance, over 16,000 trees, particularly, bitter kola (Kola nitida) Prunus africana, Persia americana, Acacia sp., and Calliandra sp have been planted (approximately 8.5 hectares) in the Muaku Community Forest and in the vicinity of the Bakossi National Park and the Nyan and Muanyet Community Water Catchment areas at the periphery of the newly created Mount Muanenguba Herpeto-ornithological Sanctuary.
