Conception culturelle de la conservation des ressources forestières par les Twa (Pygmées) dans le corridor biologique du Parc national de Salonga en République Démocratique du Congo

A study reveals that the Twa (Pygmies) in Salonga National Park, DRC, employ ancestral strategies for sustainable forest management, including self-consumption and respect for customary taboos. These practices, rooted in indigenous ecological knowledge, are threatened by modern conservation policies perceived as exclusionary. The research highlights the potential of integrating traditional knowledge into national environmental policies to foster inclusive forest governance and ecological sustainability.
