Dicka Kwambe Henock Emmanuel

My name is Dicka Kwambe Henock Emmanuel, an environmentalist, and water, forest and hunting engineer. I obtained my Master of Engineering at the faculty of agronomy and agricultural sciences from the University of Dschang (Cameroon), and a Master of Sciences in Environmental Ecology and Biodiversity from the faculty of sciences of the University of Douala. My research work was mainly focused on the fauna and flora of mangrove forests. For more than a decade, we have been witnessing a very advanced degradation of this very fragile ecosystem which plays a very important role in the balance of our environment. I coordinate a scientific team that work to restore more than 90% of a degraded plots in the southern coast of Cameroon with a visible results today. In this momentum, we participate directly or indirectly in the fight against climate change and marine pollution. Since I joined the Agricultural Research Institute for Development as Scientific and Research Engineer, I have participated in several training courses related to the marine environment. These include, among other, measurements of the physicochemical parameters of sea and river waters, and sampling of mangrove sediments in estuaries. These outings allowed me to write and contributes in several research articles, notably the most recent, namely: Dendrometrical Structure and Physicochemical Analysis of Mangrove Sediments from the Nyong River Estuary (Cameroon, Atlantic Coast). To date, we can give an exhaustive list of benthic organisms threatened with extinction in our aquatic environments and constitute a reliable database to compare with other environments much more distant from the Gulf of Guinea to establish any verification
