Project Detail

Sensibilisation, renforcement des capacités et la participation à la surveillance continue par les CLPA

The district of Sembé contains on its South-West plan several blocks of clearings essential to the maintenance and the restoration of the corridors of migrations of the elephants between the North-West of the Odzala-Kokoua National Park in the Congo and the Minkébé National Park in Gabon. These corridors are subject to strong disturbances of poaching that may lead to the fragmentation of elephant popukations. To this end, the objective of this project is to assist the local people and indigenous peoples of the villager lands of Mazingo and Dia to contribute in a practical way to the continuous community surveillance of the clearings adjacent to the village, with a view to development of ecotourism and to maintain and restore this major migratory corridor of large mammals, including elephants and gorillas. To do so, we should not only provide financial subsidies to motivate them to organize themselves to monitor them, but also and above all help them develop income-generating activities that would occupy them on a daily basis and divert them from conducting expeditions. hunting that destroys the ecological integrity of this area

Project Characteristics and Results

Capacity - Building Component

Being still in the pilot phase, evaluations will be carried out during the first year of the project and guidance will eventually be taken on a case-by-case basis.

Significant Participation of Indigenous Peoples

Groups of a dozen people are formed according to the facilities, go camping for a maximum of three (3) days per week to harvest in the beaches of Maranthacée located in the perimeter of forests communaitaire. Each of the groups are small packets of sheets that are delivered to previously organized brokers and holders of the cargo trucks, depending on the volumes ordered. Deliveries are paid in cash and the activity is viable all seasons of the year. Similarly, during the fruiting season of the Irvengia Gabonensis, several groups of a dozen people, will camp for several weeks deep in the community forest, to extract fines from fruits, to constitute bags that will be transported to the village for drying and transformation into food paw bars allowed for local consumption and marketing in urban centers, through previously organized brokers. .

Policy Impact

Standardization of production and marketing methods for non-timber forest products (NTFPs) with a view to obtaining a high added value for the benefit of actors in these value chains. Strengthening evidence in the ongoing process to secure a special binding status for the conservation of clearing blocks and migration corridors of large mammals in national land-use plans

Notable Community Participation

The active population of the area is mainly young, whose main occupation is the poaching of large mammals for ivory and bushmeat trafficking. With the support of the Project, these young people will be enrolled in the association for the social conversion of poachers of the TRIDOM (ARBRAT), to serve as a workforce in activities compatible with the conservation of biodiversity that will be developed through the project.

Inovative Financial Mechanisms

The nine (9) projects include several simulated themes / activities. By networking them, one could compare the contexts, the results from the good practices and the lessons learned from the central database transformed into knowledge to share and potentially transferable.

Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment

This strategy will focus on the label of products that will bear the mark of village production lands.

Gender Focus

To break this very obvious cultural imbalance. The project will be organized so that the leaders of the various links of the value chains are distributed equitably and that the generated revenues reach each manager directly.

Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
