Protection of Komatu sacred forest (in Fengolo, North of Côte d'Ivoire)
In rural areas, people use fire to clean their fields and plantations, and also to keep wild animals away from those plantations. Unfortunately, this method is dangerous for both human beings and the floral wealth.
The objective of the project is to protect the sacred forest of Komatu ? which is the only remaining forest undamaged ? contains important cultural and pertaining to worship relics for the village of Fengolo, as well as medical plants.
The protection of Komatu sacred forest will consist in promoting activities of honey production inside the forest, in order to prevent its burning by population due to the important icomes generated by honey activities in this forest.
