Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Collecting in Africa

Does anyone here knows anything about local regulations on insect collecting in Cameroon and/or Gabon?
I am planning to visit either of these countries, possibly during this winter, if one of them is much easier to collect in, that would certainly make my choice easier... So: would it be possible for me to collect any insects during a visit, or is it feasible to aquire a collecting permit in time? I am pretty sure that I can get a letter of recommendation from the head of dept. at the natural history museum of Sweden, if necessary. How would I do to get such a permit?

Help much appreciated,

Viktor
