Learning from agrarian dynamics to tailor community-led forest restoration in the Tshopo province, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Résumé

HIGHLIGHTS

• The proportion of farming systems supported did not correspond to the likely distribution of the population in Tshopo Province. Older and middle-aged customary rights holders were more supported than young customary rights holders and non-natives. • Older and middle-aged customary rights holders gave significantly more importance to indigenous trees for timber and caterpillar production, while young customary rights holders focused mainly on fruit trees. • Middle-aged and young customary rights holders prefered to plant in home gardens compared to older customary rights holders who already have mature home gardens. • The survival rates of planted trees differed significantly by farming system. Older customary rights holders had the best survival rates (63.0%), while middle-aged and young customary rights holders' rates were slightly lower (52.1% and 51.9% respectively). • Considering the agrarian dynamic, it is proven that in order to be effective, a forest restoration project with local people must target tree species with the potential to improve the productivity of farming systems.
