“…The first, called the "sheep rite", to habituate the gorillas to human presence, takes place once a year: it aims to save the gorillas from natural disasters and external attacks. The second is the enthronement of the park chief to protect the forest and its resources, including the gorillas (Shalukoma, 2007). Unfortunately, these rituals have been interrupted for a long period since 1990.…”

This paper examines the Kahuzi Biega National Park (PNKB) Development and Management Plan 2009-2018, the revised version of 2013, in accordance with the international principles of the new conservation paradigm. Three-dimensional modelling as a tool for knowledge transmission and socio-ecological education to indigenous youth was carried out to illuminate the impact on the life of the Batwa indigenous people on their ancestral land. Sixteen former camps within the PNKB were identified, including other cultural spaces such as places of refuge, hunting, exchange, and commercial barter occupied by indigenous Batwa within the PNKB, conferring on them customary rights to the park. The return of the Batwa indigenous people to the park in 2018, believing that the authorities had not kept their promises, followed by 54.5% of the traces of occupation of their former customary spaces. A related cultural, environmental, and educational development plan is essential to conciliate the interests of conservation in this conflict context among the indigenous residents

“…One of the major challenges of protected area management in Africa in general, and in the DRC in particular, is to respect the integrity of these areas, which are located in the middle of zones occupied by human activities [6] [7]. Despite the rich biodiversity of the Kahuzi-Biega National Park (KBNP) [8] [9], they are faced with numerous problems related to the protection and conservation of the natural resources they contain.…”

The history of mankind contains so many illustrations of well-classified and violent struggles against various animals over crop production in agricultural fields, attacks on human life or competition in order to have access to certain natural resources. The aim of this study is to characterise the human-wildlife conflicts that occur around the KBNP, especially with regard to primates. Surveys were carried out in 260 households selected using the snowball method. The results showed that human-wildlife conflicts around the KBNP are characterised by the destruction of crops in riparian fields by monkeys, chimpanzees and gorillas, the destruction of houses, physical attacks and zoonoses. Despite the conservation and protection measures for wildlife and local populations put in place by the Park's managers, conflicts between local populations and the Park's wild animals are still visible. These conflicts lead to the detention of wild animals by local people roaming in the villages and to poaching on the Park's boundaries. The weakness of the community management policy on the part of the park managers and the resentment of the indigenous peoples towards the restriction of their access to natural resources are the major constraints on the sustainable management of conflicts between the local populations and the wild animals in the KBNP. The strategies for the sustainable resolution of human-wildlife conflicts around the KBNP must be geared towards and integrated into a community conservation approach.

“…Plusieurs vaches auraient été saisies par les éco-gardes lors du déguerpissement des fermiers des espaces dits du PNKB. C'est pour cela que d'aucuns affirment la nécessité de revoir les limites du parc dans ce processus de recherche de cohésion sociale durable13 .Entre les PA et les autres communautés riveraines (ACR), le conflit des limites des parcelles ou des champs est permanent. Le statut de locataire14 des PAP ne leur donne pas beaucoup d'ouverture et d'espace de décision.…”
