Fight against environmental degradation around a National Park: Case of Kahuzi Biega National Park in Democratic Republic of Congo
Our experience on the integration of the Park's residents in the community and their resilience is a gain that MKAAJI MPYA can say it has achieved in the 6 months of implementation. Our fight is to make communities and peoples resilient to certain situations such as climate change, the integration of an agriculture adapted to the three pillars of sustainable development, we advocate the adaptation of farmers to modern farming in rural areas.
This experience also puts a focus on the life of rural communities considered as people without resources, without intelligence to produce capital for themselves. Our experience has made a decolonization of this mentality which plants social imbalances in the communities and compromises their blooming, this has normally passed by the creation of 5 agricultural cooperatives which have been well registered at the level of the chiefdom of Buhavu in the territory of Kalehe and the chiefdom of Nindja in the territory of Kabare which have created opportunities for restructuring and commercialization of the products of the fields produced by the local farmers
