Réduction de la pauvreté et du braconnage pour la valorisation des terroir villageois d'Abéla
The village terroir of Abéla located in the south-eastern periphery of the Odzala-Kokoua National Park (PNOK) in the TRIDOM Landscape, is the beneficiary of the Project. Local communities are Bantu. The following activities are carried out: * Ensure continuous community surveillance of the elephant / gorilla clearing, adjacent to the settlements and its connection corridor with the Odzala-Kokoua National Park (PNOK), located in the district of Etoumbi; * Develop pig production and sharecropping; * Promote a sedentary subsistence agriculture, compatible with the conservation of biodiversity. The expected results are: the Securing of biotopes with as indicator the Probability of observation of Large Mammals in clearings and corridors connecting them; Food security by reducing the hunting effort due to the bushmeat trade; Increase in agricultural yields and pig farming, providing an alternative source of income. About twenty households are mobilized with a variation in women and young people. The proximity of the Base infrastructures of the Odzala Kokoua National Park is a real asset for the development of community ecotourism.
