Training on better Environmental preservation

A three-day seminar has taken place in Douala organised by the International Organisation for the Protection of the Environment in Central Africa, Enviro-Protect. The seminar with the theme: Environmental Norms Applicable in Cameroon took place at Bano palace in Akwa, Douala. During the seminar organisers stressed that in every sector environmental norms are involved and if company operators can respect these norms it will go a long way to reduce the risk of environment degradation. According to the seminar organisers the preoccupation of the environment is insubstantial and many times in some areas environmental norms are not understood and so they are not respected. The specific objective of the seminar is to train participants on the methodology to elaborate the environmental norms, understand the relevance of the norms and to learn the regulation of the environmental norms applicable in Cameroon. During the seminar issues were handled on environmental management, norms of products and environmental norms, norms of soil and water management.
Talking to the president of Enviro-Protect, Dr Tiani Kéou François outlined some of the norms, which included norms of pollution, management of corporations, natural resources. He stated three categories of norms, environmental, economic and social norms.
