During these exchanges, speaking of the human-wildlife conflict, Minister Jules Doret Ndongo underlined the importance the State of Cameroon attaches to them on a daily basis. He instructed delegates to order killings in situations where people's lives are being endangered by animals. The issue of the necessity, role and importance of conservation in Cameroon, as well as the importance of protected areas, were also discussed, not forgetting the expectations the government has of the local population.
