Fragmentation of mountain tropical forest in Kedjom - Keku area (Cameroon)
No full textFragmentation of mountain tropical forest in Kedjom-Keku area (Cameroon) Abstract In many tropical developing countries, the pressure of growing population and increasing demand for agricultural land result in substantial fragmentation of forests. Fragmentation occurs when large continuous forest is broken into a number of smaller patches isolated from each other by a distinct vegetation type. This landscape process increases the probability of extinction for many species, opens up forest patches to altered abiotic and biotic conditions and also affects dispersal and migration patterns of species through destroying habitat connectivity. The last isolated fragments remain from species and endemic rich mountain misty forest in Kedjom-Keku area on the Northwest of Cameroon due to human encroachment. The analysis of satellite images of the area acknowledged high degree of mountain tropical forest fragmentation. There appeared a loss of forest habitat and even a loss of forest core area on the major part of study area between 2003 and 2010. Keywords: fragmentation, tropical forest, assessment, Cameroo

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
