Abstract

The phenomenon of anthropization of the production series of the Pokola forest management unit is an acute problem. This study aimed, among other things, to analyze the anthropogenic pressure of local communities and indigenous populations (CLPA) in the production series as well as to suggest prospects for improving this phenomenon. Data collection and analysis favored a qualitative rather than a quantitative approach. It appears from this study that this phenomenon is due to the difficulty of access to agricultural land in the municipality of Pokola, the increased demand for agricultural products, the lack of land subdivision in the municipality of Pokola, etc. Despite knowing the limits of the community development series (62%) and given the demographic and spatial growth of the municipality of Pokola, some CLPAs are forced to carry out their activities in the production series, an area reserved for production. lumber. Illegal occupations concern food crops and cash crops which are the origin of forest clearing, camps and some dwellings. Better management of access to land in the community development series is necessary to mitigate this phenomenon.
