La croissance démographique, la pauvreté et le besoin croissant en énergie figurent parmi les principales causes de la perte du couvert forestier en Afrique. Chaque année, le continent perd plus de 2 millions d’hectares de forêt. La production de charbon de bois, de bois de chauffe et l’aménagement de l’espace pour des activités agricoles, figurent parmi les causes de cette déforestation. Cette perte du couvert forestier entraîne avec elle aussi la dégradation ou l’appauvrissement du sol, rendant ainsi difficile toute activité agricole.

Dans les zones affectées par les déplacements de populations, le bois énergie joue un rôle central dans la sécurité alimentaire et les moyens de subsistance des réfugiés et des populations qui les accueillent. Il est par conséquent crucial de trouver des solutions qui d’une part renforcent les avantages socio-économiques de cette ressource, et d’autre part réduisent au maximum la dégradation des forêts et la déforestation.

In refugee settings, wood fuel significantly contributes to host and displaced populations’ food security and livelihoods. Therefore, it is crucial to find solutions that can enhance wood fuel’s socio-economic benefits, while minimizing its contribution to forest degradation and deforestation.

La responsabilité de nourrir une famille pèse lourdement sur les femmes dans la région de l’Est du Cameroun, où un afflux massif de réfugiés provenant de la République centrafricaine a accru la concurrence pour l’accès aux ressources naturelles, rendant plus difficile la recherche de bois de chauffe pour satisfaire leurs besoins énergétiques.

Located strategically between Nairobi and the coastal city of Mombasa, Kitui County has long been one of Kenya’s most important charcoal production hotspots.

The local economy is mostly based on agriculture, but for farmers charcoal production is an important coping mechanism to secure a year-round income, particularly during the long dry season that lasts from May until October.

Il existe aujourd’hui une prolifération d’initiatives qui visent à la création de paysages forestiers durables dans les pays du sud. La plupart de ces expériences viennent de la volonté des gouvernements ou d’entreprises de montrer qu’ils sont engagés dans la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, au moins sur un territoire bien délimité, dont les impacts sur la forêt vont être évalués et suivis.

In 2005, there were only six forestry specialists with a postgraduate degree in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Fast-forward to 2020, and the number has increased to over 220 with master’s and doctoral degrees. In addition, there are many more skilled technicians who are highly qualified to sustainably manage the country’s vast tropical forests.

The circular economy is an economic and industrial model that keeps products, including their components and materials, in circulation for as long as possible to promote sustainability.

In this system, the components of an end-of-life product are used over and over again to recreate value, and industrial, agricultural, and household residues are recovered to make new products. This system therefore keeps waste and use of resources to a minimum.

L’économie circulaire est un modèle économique et industriel visant à maintenir les produits, leurs composants et les matériaux en circulation le plus longtemps possible pour promouvoir la durabilité.

Dans ce modèle, lorsqu’un produit arrive en fin de vie, les ressources qui le composent sont maintenues dans le cycle économique afin d’être utilisées encore et encore pour recréer de la valeur. Également, les déchets industriels, agricoles ou ménagers sont récupérés pour fabriquer des nouveaux produits et ainsi éviter le gaspillage. En conséquence, les déchets et l’utilisation des ressources sont réduits au minimum.

Southeast Asian nations are preparing for the possibility of an environmental emergency, exacerbated by the health crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

Poised on the brink of the regional wildfire season — which usually peaks in August and September — researchers, officials and civil society groups are concerned that the impact of the pandemic could boost the incidence and severity of uncontrolled fires, if mobility limitations and stretched resources get in the way of prevention and firefighting efforts.

En Afrique centrale, les marchés intérieurs et régionaux du bois d’œuvre sont en plein essor. La croissance démographique rapide, l’urbanisation et le développement économique de la région sont à l’origine de la hausse de la demande interne des sciages, qui dans de nombreux pays est déjà plus importante en volume que l’exploitation industrielle pour les marchés d’exportation.

The spread of diseases from animals to humans—called zoonoses—is a public health issue as evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. As efforts to curb pandemic accelerate, many conservationists are welcoming China’s move to outlaw hunting and consumption of wild animals. Yet, the ban may put millions of forest dwellers at risk from food insecurity, as Indigenous or rural communities often consume wild meat as their main source of protein.

The illegal trade in rosewood is a lucrative business affecting much of Southeast Asia and parts of Africa and South America. Demand started to increase in West Africa 10 years ago and exports soared from zero to hundreds of millions of dollars. The exploitation of the red-hued hardwood, which is often used in furniture making, is causing environmental and socioeconomic hardship.
