The planet's second green lung, the African equatorial rainforest, is disappearing at an alarming rate (3.9 million hectares per year), with dire consequences for the biodiversity of which we are a part.
A few hundred chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) live in this area. They are considered "endangered due to poaching and deforestation". Yet they play an essential role in their ecosystem through their role as pollinators and actively participate in the ecological balance of tropical forests!

Solution
Identify, restore forest reserves in order tocreate an ecological corridor enabling the development of biodiversitywith the help of local populations. This project will put an end to the fragmentation of natural habitats for all local wildlife.
Local populations are at the heart of this project. They are the ones who determine where, when and how to act. They are the ones who decide how best to work for them, while preserving their natural heritage (animal and floral).
