Declarations
:
: For each site, data collect was facilitated by an introduction letter provided by the University of Dschang-Cameroon and mission order delivered by <i>the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development</i> (IRD)-Cameroon to local authorities requesting their assistance and cooperation in carrying out the activity in their constituency. In Gabon, the research permit and mission order were delivered by the <i>Centre National de Recherche Scientifique</i> (CENAREST) and the <i>Herbier National du Gabon</i> (HNG) national herbarium. Once in the field, we conducted an introductory conversation with the chief of each site in which we explained the objectives and methodology of the research and requested permission to interview resource persons and visit collection sites with them. The people interviewed initially gave their written agreement to participate in the survey and an authorization form was signed for the pictures to be taken.
