Two students are doing their master 2 studies in the classified forest of Tiogo. Images bellow show the present situation: application of a governance project, the forestry Investment Program, financed by African Development Bank; prohibited and authorized activities and riparian population giving their needs in other to find a best way for the forest sustainable development.

Project implemented by the ministry in charge of environment. Officially prohibited activities: logging, charring, bushfires, animal grazing and gold panning

Prohibited activity: gold panning resulting in deforestation and degradation through the use of chemicals and the digging of holes

Prohibited activity: animal grazing. A flock of sheep grazing

Prohibited activity: bushfires. Tree burned by bush fires

Permitted activity: non-timber forest products. Women are the most active in the activity of picking and selling

Exchange session with the local population: gathering the needs of local populations in the governance of the classified forest
