Meer over het boek

The overall aim of this work is to contribute to the protection of the KBNP and its natural resources at all times, even during periods of armed conflict, with a view to maintaining its overall ecological, socio-economic, and even cultural and specific value.To achieve our objective and results, which will be presented in the third chapter, we used comparative, descriptive, historical, explanatory and synthetic methods supported by documentary, survey and observation techniques to collect our precious data.Thus, the various results obtained (100% of respondents who recognized the presence of armed conflict actors or armed groups in and around the KBNP in the Lulingu sector, 3 types of ecological effects on the KBNP linked to the presence of these armed groups in and around the park were recognized by the respondents, and 4 types of mechanisms were proposed by the respondents to fight against the presence of armed conflict actors in and around the Lulingu sector in the KBNP), enabled us to confirm our hypotheses.
