    Parmi les 36 espĂšces de bois d’oeuvre inscrites sur la liste rouge de l’UICN, Tieghemella heckelii (Sapotaceae) ou MakorĂ© est l’une des deux espĂšces qualifiĂ©es de danger d’extinction, Ă  cause des activitĂ©s anthropiques qui ont entrainĂ© la rĂ©duction considĂ©rable des Ă©cosystĂšmes forestiers en CĂŽte d’Ivoire. De plus, les variations climatiques influenceraient aussi l’aire de distribution de cette espĂšce menacĂ©e. D’oĂč l’intĂ©rĂȘt de cette Ă©tude dont l’objectif gĂ©nĂ©ral vise Ă  apporter des connaissances sur l’effet des variations climatiques sur la rĂ©partition phytogĂ©ographique de MakorĂ© en CĂŽte d’Ivoire, pour une gestion rationnelle de l’espĂšce. Il a Ă©tĂ© question de modĂ©liser la distribution des aires favorables actuelles de MakorĂ© dans les zones phytogĂ©ographiques; d’évaluer les effets potentiels des variations climatiques Ă  l’horizon 2050 sur l’étendue des aires de distribution phytogĂ©ographique de MakorĂ© et de dĂ©terminer les contributions des variables bioclimatiques importantes dans la modĂ©lisation de la distribution de MakorĂ©. Pour ce faire, les coordonnĂ©es gĂ©ographiques des spĂ©cimens de MakorĂ© herborisĂ©s dans les trois herbiers nationaux et les individus inventoriĂ©s dans les zones phytogĂ©ographiques du pays, ont Ă©tĂ© recensĂ©es. Les scenarios RCP 6.0 et RCP 8.5 ont Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©s pour la prĂ©diction de la distribution de MakorĂ© dans les conditions climatiques actuelles et futures. Les rĂ©sultats des simulations montrent que les habitats favorables Ă  la distribution de MakorĂ© seront localisĂ©s prĂ©fĂ©rentiellement dans les forĂȘts denses humides sempervirentes du pays. L’importante contribution de la variable bioclimatique « prĂ©cipitations du mois le plus sec (Bio 14) » signifie que la distribution future de MakorĂ© sera principalement influencĂ©e par les variations de pluviomĂ©trie. Cette Ă©tude aidera certainement les gestionnaires du patrimoine forestier ivoirien dans leurs prises de dĂ©cision sur la conservation et la protection de la biodiversitĂ©.Mots clĂ©s : Tieghemella heckelii (Sapotaceae), Aire de distribution, ModĂ©lisation, Variations bioclimatiques, CĂŽte d’Ivoire

    La rĂ©serve naturelle Mabi-Yaya (RNMY) a Ă©tĂ© crĂ©Ă©e Ă  travers le dĂ©cret n° 2019-897 du 30 octobre 2019 par le gouvernement de la CĂŽte d’Ivoire pour palier le problĂšme de pression anthropique qui pĂšse sur la zone. Elle est situĂ©e dans le Sud-est de la CĂŽte d’Ivoire et regorge une diversitĂ© floristique trĂšs riche. La prĂ©sente Ă©tude vise Ă  amĂ©liorer les connaissances sur le potentiel forestier de la rĂ©serve et les diffĂ©rentes pressions qu’elle subit, pour sa gestion durable. La rĂ©alisation de cette Ă©tude a Ă©tĂ© faite Ă  travers les approches de tĂ©lĂ©dĂ©tection qui ont consistĂ© Ă  la classification de deux images Sentinel-2A de 2015 et 2020. Cette classification des images Sentinels a ensuite Ă©tĂ© confirmĂ©e par des observations sur le terrain. Les rĂ©sultats obtenus font Ă©tat de six (6) classes d’occupation du sol dans la RNMY en 2015 et en 2020, avec les forĂȘts denses humides comme classe dominante. L’analyse spatio-temporelle de ces images a permis d’avoir une carte de la dynamique de 2015 et une carte actualisĂ©e de 2020. Il ressort de l’analyse de ces diffĂ©rentes cartes que la RNMY est soumise Ă  une forte pression anthropique. La dynamique de l’utilisation des terres a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© une perte annuelle de prĂšs de 1 % des forĂȘts denses humides, principalement due Ă  la production des cultures pĂ©rennes (cacao, hĂ©vĂ©a et cafĂ©).   The Mabi-Yaya Natural Reserve (RNMY) was created through decree n° 2019-897 of October 30, 2019 by the government of CĂŽte d'Ivoire in response to the anthropogenic pressure on the area. It is located in the South-east of CĂŽte d'Ivoire and possesses a very rich floral biodiversity. This study aimed to improve knowledge of the forest potential and the various pressures on the reserve for its sustainable management. This study was carried out through remote sensing approaches which consisted in the classification of the two Sentinel-2A images from 2015 and 2020. The classification of Sentinel images was thereafter confirmed by field observations. The results showed six (6) land cover classes in the RNMY in 2015 and 2020, with dense humid forests as the dominant class. The spatio-temporal analysis of the images depicted a map of the dynamics in 2015 and an updated map of 2020. The analysis of these different maps revealed that the RNMY is heavily affected by anthropogenic pressure. Land use dynamics revealed an annual loss of nearly 1 % of dense humid forests each year mainly due to the production of perennial crops (cocoa, rubber and coffee)

    Objective: This study aims to characterize and to map vegetation cover in the mountainous region of Tonkpi in order to evaluate forest dynamics by remote sensing. Methodology and Results: This work relied on four satellite images of the scene 198-55 Landsat 4 TM 1990 from Landsat 7 ETM+ in 2000, Landsat 5 TM 2011 and Landsat 8 OLI-SHOTS 2015. Based on field data, classification was conducted using the maximum likelihood method in satellite images (OLI-SHOTS, ETM + and TM) in order to map vegetation from 1990 to 2015. These maps were superimposed to the Digital elevation model produced from an ASTER image in order to assess forest dynamics at altitude levels. The diachronic study of land use revealed a change in the landscape with a significant reduction of dense forest (-35.6%) and crop lands and fallow (-42.14%), and an increase of degraded forests (15.13%) and bare soil land and houses (10.46%). Moreover, high altitudes occupy a large proportion (37.7%) of the landscape (12,284 km2 ), followed by medium altitudes (34.6%), and low altitudes (27.7%). Concerning bare soil and homes, there is a large increase of the area at low altitudes (88, 96%) while concerning crops and fallow, the area reduction was more pronounced at high altitudes ( -53.64%). The medium altitudes have the highest rate of increase (51.14%) in degraded forests, and the highest decrease (-43.25%) in the dense forests. Conclusion and Application: The study shows that high altitudes occupy the largest proportion of the total area of the region and a change in the landscape due to human activities. Based on the results, we recommend a spatio-temporal monitoring of the net erosion on the mountains in order to maintain its agricultural potential and fight effectively against erosion

    La prĂ©sente Ă©tude est une contribution Ă  la gestion durable des Ă©cosystĂšmes de mangrove. Elle s’est faite par enquĂȘte portant sur l’identification des usages du palĂ©tuvier par les populations, la dĂ©termination des modes de gestion de la ressource et l’évaluation de la durabilitĂ©. Ainsi, une enquĂȘte par entrevues dirigĂ©es Ă  l’aide d’un questionnaire a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e auprĂšs des populations de 8 localitĂ©s (Gbehiri, TeffrĂ©dji, Tiemien, Avadivry, Niangoussou, Toukouzou, Gboyo et Azagny) au large de la lagune EbriĂ©. L’analyse descriptive faite des donnĂ©es collectĂ©es indique qu’il existe 5 classes d’usage de la mangrove par la population. Il s’agit des usages pour : la fabrication du matĂ©riel (8,01%), le bois d’énergie, la mĂ©decine traditionnelle (3,87%), la pĂȘche et l’aquaculture (7,44%). La mangrove est au cƓur de la vie socioĂ©conomique des populations lagunaires. En effet, il existe trois modes de gestion pour cette ressource.

It was carried out by means of a survey to identify the uses of mangroves by the populations, to determine the management methods of the resource and to evaluate its sustainability. Thus, a questionnaire survey was carried out with the help of guided interviews with the populations of eight localities (Gbehiri, TeffrĂ©dji, Tiemien, Avadivry, Niangoussou, Toukouzou, Gboyo and Azagny) off the EbriĂ© lagoon. The descriptive analysis made of the collected data indicate that there are five classes of use of the mangrove by the population. These are uses for: the manufacture of materials (8. 01%), energy wood, traditional medicine (3.87%), fishing and aquaculture (7.44%). The mangrove is at the heart of the socio-economic life of the lagoon populations. Indeed, there are three management methods for this resource: traditional management by the village community and administrative management, for forest exploitation of the RAMSAR site of Azagny. Here, an access, restriction of the resource is imposed by the Ivorian office of parks and reserves. If the population recognizes the importance of the mangrove, its management is however not made in a spirit of sustainability since no action of renewal of the resource is undertaken

    Les aires protĂ©gĂ©es du Burkina Faso connaissent un phĂ©nomĂšne d'anthropisation accrue. A cela s'ajoute l'effet des changements climatiques. Ainsi, ces facteurs ont des consĂ©quences dont la baisse de la biodiversitĂ©. Cette Ă©tude a pour objectif principal d’analyser de la dynamique spatio-temporelle des savanes boisĂ©es. Elle a Ă©tĂ© conduite dans la forĂȘt classĂ©e de Tiogo. Des images Landsat TM de 1986 et ETM de 2010 ont Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©es. Deux cartes d’occupation du sol, respectivement de 1986 et de 2010 ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es avec trois classes thĂ©matiques. De ces deux cartes d’occupation du sol, deux cartes de rĂ©partition spatiale des savanes boisĂ©es de 1986 et 2010 ont Ă©tĂ© gĂ©nĂ©rĂ©es. Les rĂ©sultats cartographiques rĂ©vĂšlent une forte rĂ©gression des savanes boisĂ©es passant de 35,17% en 1986 Ă  18,04% en 2010. Durant la mĂȘme pĂ©riode, les zones d’anthropisation ont progressĂ© d’environ 4,38% par an. L’analyse de la dynamique spatiale a montrĂ© une fragmentation des savanes boisĂ©es entre 1986 et 2010. Cette fragmentation est principalement due Ă  des activitĂ©s anthropiques, notamment l’exploitation forestiĂšre et les dĂ©frichements agricoles. Ceci constitue donc une menace croissante pour la conservation de la biodiversitĂ© dans cette forĂȘt classĂ©e si aucune mesure n’est prise pour inverser les tendances.© 2015 International Formulae Group.

It was conducted in the classified forest of Tiogo in Central West of Burkina Faso. Images 1986 Landsat TM and ETM of 2010 have been used. Two land use maps of 1986 and 2010 respectively, were made with respect to three thematic classes defined. From these two land use maps, two maps of spatial distribution of woody savanna of 1986 and 2010 were generated. The mapping results reveal a sharp decline of woody savanna, declining from 35.17% in 1986 to 18.04% in 2010. During the same period, anthropization areas have increased of approximately 4.38% per year. Analysis of the spatial dynamics has shown fragmentation of savanna between 1986 and 2010. This fragmentation is due to anthropogenic activities, including logging and agricultural clearing. This is therefore a growing threat to the conservation of biodiversity in this classified forest if no action is taken to reverse the trends.© 2015 International Formulae Group.

    Dynamique forestiùre et pression urbaine dans le Parc national du Banco (Abidjan, Cîte d’Ivoire)

    No full text
    Since 1960s, the Ivorian government care about his forest conservation. Thus, the Ivory Coast has set up a network of protected areas to conserve its forests and biodiversity. Located in Abidjan, the Banco National Park (PNB) and its periphery face a deeply environment changes in recent decades. This research aims to describe and analyze the various threats to urban pressure, including the risks of deforestation and pollution around and inside the PNB. To achieve these objectives, the analysis of the land cover and vegetation change help to understand the environmental dynamics of the Banco forest. The inventory and mapping of the types of risk and their impact on PNB enable to show the most vulnerable areas due to anthropogenic pressures and urbanization. The study of the types of human pressures in PNB is conducted through observations to detect spatial changes in recent years. The study also relies on an aerial photograph of 1955 and Spot satellite image taken in 1998. Aerial photography was acquired at the Centre of Cartography and Remote Sensing and the National Geographic Institute (IGN-Paris). The satellite image was obtained with the ISIS program of Spot Image. These data were used to map land cover in 1955 and 1998 and compare the evolution of the vegetation through a diachronic analysis.Indeed, in the year 1955, the land in the park and its periphery showed that the landscape was dominated by the forest despite the presence of a few urban space. The forest covered an area of 5462 ha while secondary forest covered an area of 9220 ha. These two types of forest represented nearly 90 % of the landscape of the study area. In 1998, 3450 ha of forest and 434 ha of forest plantations represente the vegetation of the PNB. Bordered by four towns, the Banco National Park suffers from the consequences of rapid urbanization. This rapid growth in the district of Abidjan has created many environmental problems, including the proliferation of shantytowns, inadequate facilities and transport infrastructure, sanitation and housing. The park is bordered to the north, east and south many poor neighborhoods without sanitation equipment. The PNB is to be the outlet for solid and liquid waste from households. Municipal storm water is discharged into the park. Multiple industrial units, informal activities and new residential areas bordering the park which is already facing since a decades to the creation of many facilities (creation of motorways, express roads, infrastructure and equipment necessary to meet demand of urban water, electricity etc..). In addition, many areas of PNB are subject to land claims, including the north-east and south of the park. These disputed areas are correlated with particular types of communities along the villages of Anonkoua Kouté Sagbé and north-Agban Attié and Agban-village southeast, and southwest Andokoi. In order to improve the protection of PNB and to enable his participation in economic development of people, its directors have established a policy of participatory management. This strategy involves local people in conservation. The association of local people in the community management of forest resources can empower them by involving them in monitoring missions, recovery and development. The development of the park through ecotourism, the development of alternative activities toward poachers and illegal loggers are among the many strategies implemented to save this threatened ecosystem. Ecotourism has become the most important policy of participatory management of public administrators of PNB
