dc.description.abstractThe Congo Basin has the largest forest cover on the African continent. Of the 400 million hectares that the Basin comprises, about 200 million of them are covered by forest, with 90 percent being tropical dense forests. The Congo Basin's logging sector has a dualistic configuration. It boasts a highly visible formal sector that is export oriented and dominated by large industrial groups with foreign capital and an informal sector that has long been underestimated and overlooked. This report is one of a series of reports prepared during a two-year attempt to analyze and better understand deforestation dynamics in the Basin. It presents findings related to the logging sector and its potential impact on forest cover, and it is based on an in-depth analysis of the sector. The paper's structure is as follows: first chapter gives an overview of the logging sector both formal and informal in the six countries and its importance in terms of employment and revenues; second chapter is the analyzes and impacts of logging activities on forest cover; and final chapter presents recommendations to foster sustainable logging activities with a particular focus on the informal sector and reduce potential adverse impact on natural forests.en
dc.description.abstractLe bassin du Congo abrite la plus grande surface forestière du continent africain. Sur les 400 millions d'hectares du bassin, environ 200 millions sont couverts par la forêt, dont 90 % de forêt tropicale dense. Lieu de résidence de plus de 30 millions d'habitants, les forêts du bassin du Congo font vivre de plus de 75 millions de personnes appartenant à plus de 150 groupes ethniques. Les forêts du bassin du Congo rendent également d'importants services écologiques aux niveaux local et régional. Le secteur de l’exploitation forestière du bassin du Congo est caractérisé par une double configuration, avec d'une part un secteur formel à haute visibilité, presque exclusivement tourné vers l'exportation et dominé par de grands groupes industriels à capitaux étrangers, et d'autre part un secteur informel longtemps négligé et sous-estimé. Au cours des dernières années, il est devenu manifeste que dans le bassin du Congo, les pressions les plus importantes sur les forêts sont exercées pour l'essentiel par d'autres activités que l'exploitation forestière (agriculture, énergie, mines, etc.). Ce rapport fait partie d'une série de rapports établis dans le cadre d'une étude de deux ans visant à analyser et mieux comprendre les dynamiques de la déforestation dans le bassin du Congo. Il présente des conclusions concernant le secteur de l'exploitation forestière et son impact potentiel sur la couverture forestière. La structure du document est la suivante : Le Chapitre 1 donne une vue d'ensemble du secteur formel et informel de l'exploitation forestière dans les six pays et de son importance en termes d'emploi et de revenus. Le Chapitre 2 analyse les impacts des activités d'exploitation forestière sur la couverture forestière. Le Chapitre 3 présente des recommandations visant à encourager, en particulier dans le secteur informel, les activités durables d'exploitation forestière, et à atténuer les potentiels effets négatifs sur les forêts naturelles.fr
