[more ▼] L’agriculture itinérante sur brûlis et l’extraction du bois énergie sont les principales causes de dégradation des forêts d’Afrique Centrale. La Régénération Naturelle Assistée (RNA) des jeunes arbres dans les parcelles cultivées, un outil de gestion appliqué avec succès depuis plus de vingt ans au Sahel (Larwanou et al, 2006), a été expérimentée en zone tropicale humide avec des villageois de République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) par le projet européen Makala, depuis 2010. La RNA pourrait constituer une solution viable pour lutter contre la savanisation des dernières forêts galeries du plateau Batéké, tout en pérennisant les productions agricoles et de charbon.

[more ▼] The management of wood energy has become a major concern for the international community and is the focus of debates in Central Africa. The Makala Project, funded by the EU, fits within this context with the objective of securing the supply of wood energy to urban centers. Over the past three years, various forest resources management techniques have been designed and an assessment of the wood energy sector has been conducted in Kinshasa. Various technical itineraries have been proposed for the management of areas dedicated to thesupply of wood energy at various levels, from the farming plot to the village land, and from the individual approach to the collective approach. This article provides a snapshot of the activities developed by the Makala Project to improve the management of periurban forest ecosystems and to secure the supply in wood energy.

[more ▼] Peri-urban forests are under strong anthropic pressure. Any activity needs a previous identification of stakeholders, landscape perception, socio-economic trends in local communities and their relationships with land and natural resources. Kinshasa (capital of Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC) is a 10 millions inhabitants city with rapid growth and increasing impacts on surrounding villages linked with forest natural resources. This paper describes the relationship amongst local communities stakeholders and their relations with land areas and wood resources. Two areas surrounding Kinshasa (Bas-Congo and Bateke Plateaux) are considered as major fuel-wood and charcoal supply zones for the city. Those two areas are different in terms of land pressure (very high in Bas-Congo and focused on riparian forests on Bateke Plateaux), but show the same pattern of overuse of the forest and woody natural resources. In both areas, local management of forest resources by the traditional authorities (heads of village or lineage) has failed. Local population willingness for reforestation and forest restoration activities is much more important in Bas-Congo than on Bateke Plateaux. In both areas, shifting cultivation due to slash and burn practices for agricultural and charcoal practices are more and more quick. This has strong negative impact on the potential of regeneration process with local forest species. Sustainability of forest natural resources management by communities is discussed in regard to the on going negotiations on community based forest management regulations.

[more ▼] —From slash-and-burn to slash-and-charcoal in R.D. Congo Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has some 8 million inhabitants and is mainly surrounded by savanna and patches of degraded forest. Estimated fuelwood consumption is in the range of 3 to 6 million tones of fuelwood equivalent per year (representing 0.6 to 1.2 MT of charcoal per year if all the wood were charcoaled). The Mampu project was designed as the pilot phase of a reforestation project covering 100 000 hectares of sandy soil on the Bateke plateau and aiming to remedy wood and charcoal scarcities. Despite the conflicts, about 8000 hectares of Acacia auriculiformis were planted, mainly from 1987 to 1993. From about 1994, the Mampu plantation was divided into 25 hectare plots for 320 farming families. Cultivation mainly follows the agroforestry pattern based on improved fallows, which draws on traditional slash-and-burn farming. Total charcoal production from the plantation varies from 8 000 to 12 000 tonnes per year, in addition to 10 000 T/year of cassava, 1 200 T/year of maize and 6 T/year of honey. The success of the project is an incentive to apply the model to the savanna lands on the Bateke plateaus, taking traditional land rights into consideration and continuing activities to diversify and process production locally. This will help to cover a larger share of urban needs for renewable energy while also creating rural employment. However, other agroforestry systems deserve to be tested or developed for different ecological and social or economic conditions across the country, such as management of the natural regrowth of local multiple-use species as applied with the traditional system of fallow enrichment (Nkunku) in the Lower Congo.

[more ▼] L’identification des acteurs, des finages, des dynamiques sociales locales et du rapport à la terre et aux ressources naturelles constitue un préalable à toute intervention dans les zones péri-urbaines soumises à forte pression anthropique. En République Démocratique du Congo, la capitale Kinshasa, mégapole en pleine extension, engendre une pression considérable sur les ressources ligneuses dans les finages des villages situés dans sa grande périphérie. La présente communication décrit les rapports des acteurs aux espaces-ressources dans deux zones (Bas-Congo et plateau Bateke) situées en périphérie de cette ville, zones considérées comme des bassins d’approvisionnement en bois-énergie. Les deux sites différent en termes de pression foncière (très élevée dans le Bas-congo, centrée sur les forêts galerie sur les plateaux Bateke) mais présentent les mêmes faciès de surexploitation des ressources ligneuses. Dans les deux cas, la gestion locale, aux mains des chefs de villages ou des chefs de lignée, a failli. La volonté de reboisement est aussi grande au Bas-Congo qu’elle semble moins développée sur les plateaux. Dans les deux situations, la pratique du retour rapide sur la formation végétale (pour l’agriculture ou pour l’exploitation du charbon de bois) hypothèque la possibilité de régénération de la plupart des essences locales.
