The ecological monitoring of the area started with the aerial survey carried out in April 2017, and continued with the foot survey carried out by rangers in March-April 2018 as well as the data regularly collected with camera-traps and during anti-poaching activities. These elements provide information to the protected area managers, guiding the management activities to more sensitive or threatened (...)
The number of rangers has been increased, and several months of training have been delivered for a more appropriate anti-poaching activity. The objective is to secure a core area of the Bamingui Bangoran National Park and the adjoining ZCVs, allowing a repopulation of this space by the wildlife.
Youth training courses have been delivered for a variety of work skills (building, mechanics, etc.). Small development projects are in progress (promotion of Shea butter production, small livestock rising, beef processing, support to ZCVs etc.) as alternatives to the income from wildlife poaching.
