Abstract

The gradual decline of the Achach forest cover is at the heart of regional and national environmental issues. Public policy wishes to develop a participatory approach involving local populations. Thus, a better understanding of how local management should be is required. This article examines the analysis of human impacts on the Achach forest degradation. Surveys conducted in the field and consultation of minutes evolution during 24 years ago (1987 to 2011) showed a large exploitation of the Achach forest by local population, through transfers of firewood and leaf fodder for livestock. 1500 reports were established by the forest guards during this period and 43 152 trees were cut down, while the number of reports related to the overgrazing were about 1 824 with 161 532 trees and associated plants were damaged in this area.
