Réagir: deforestation - PARC NATIONAL DE TAÏ
Description
In Côte d’Ivoire more than 95% of original forest cover
disappeared since 1900. In the vicinity of the Tai National Park,
the forest mosaic was preserved for many years by its
inaccessibility. Nowadays, because of the increased pressure
from coffee, cocoa and rubber plantations as well as wood
exploitation, forest patches are disappearing. These fragments
were important resources for villagers and were maintaining
terrain stability. Programs of traditions revalorization are a
good support to these forests conservation by bringing some
of them to sacred woods, but in many other places forests
and species are definitely disappearing.
