Like many other Protected Areas in the country, the Gilé National Reserve has suffered greatly from 25 years of conflict, war of independence and civil war. She was also very affected by the recurrent lack of human and financial resources during the post-war period. Today, it continues to face increasing pressure on its natural resources.
 

In this context, the project aims to establish a sustainable and legal use of Non-Timber Forest Products in the Gilé National Reserve. The first objective of the project is to authorize the removal of Non-Timber Forest Products from the Central Zone in an organized manner and under the control of the Gilé National Reserve. The second objective is to organize the collection, conservation and marketing of Non-Timber Forest Products in partnership with local communities.

 
Our Role: We partnered with AFD, FFEM, The Gilé National Reserve and Nitidae to produce a series of videos and photos on their initiative in Gilé.
