Résumé :	Surveys of North-west Cameroon revealed a high degree of clearance of montane forest, threatening the survival of the wildlife endemic to this type of forest. The Kilum and Ijim forests, in which Birdlife initiated conservation work ten years ago, are the most extensive and best remaining examples of this biotope. Some fragments of lower altitude forest or transition to sub-montane forest were discovered which may be the last remaining examples of their type, and have been identified through the IBA programme as requiring special conservation efforts to prevent their disappearance.
