11 Main threats on biodiversity Congo Basin forest Industrial activities (logging, oil and mining companies) Rural agriculture Road building Poaching and illegal trade of tropical species Trade of Non Timber Forest Product in domestic, Sub regional and international level 11

12 Consequence of deforestation Lost of biodiversity Development of poverty Rural exode of lndigenous and riverain people 12

13 How to conciliate conservation of biodiversity and development of economic activities? 13

22 Mains Constraints/Threats Insufficiency of legal and institutional framework Insufficiency of human resource Insufficiency of marketing and communication Lack of enterprise approach in each Protected Area Insufficiency of financial resources

23 4 Way forward 23

24 What we need now?
