UBC Forestry congratulates Fideline Mboringong on receiving the IDRC International Doctoral Research Award!
About Fideline
Fideline is a PhD candidate in the Vibrant Forest Landsccapes Lab. Her research explores how Indigenous Peoples’ and Local Communities’ (IPLCs) values can be integrated into decision-making for large-scale mining projects in Cameroon’s South and East Regions. With increasing mining pressures on forests and livelihoods, she examines how inclusive frameworks can address environmental injustices and promote sustainability. Her work aims to fill policy gaps and provide recommendations for equitable transformation in Cameroon’s mining sector.
