In Africa, protected areas can play an important role in mitigating the effects of climate change through carbon sequestration but they are threatened due to increasing land degradation and deforestation (LDD). The Total Wildlife Reserve Bontioli (TWRB) Burkina Faso is one country's refuges with high biodiversity. This reserve seriously by human activities, little information available about on-site causes extent. study was carried out investigate drivers extent LDD TWRB. Household surveys,...
The West African country of Burkina Faso (BFA) is an example for the enduring importance traditional plant use today. A large proportion its 17 million inhabitants lives in rural communities and strongly depends on local products their livelihood. However, literature still scarce a comprehensive analysis missing. In this study we combine information recently published checklist with from ethnobotanical comprehensive, national scale Faso. We quantify application species 10 different...
Over the last decades agroforestry parklands in Burkina Faso have come under increasing demographic as well climatic pressures, which are threatening indigenous tree species that contribute substantially to income generation and nutrition rural households. Analyzing threats vulnerability them is fundamental for priority setting conservation planning. Guided by literature local experts we selected 16 important food (Acacia macrostachya, Acacia senegal, Adansonia digitata, Annona senegalensis,...
Au Burkina Faso, les populations rurales dépendent fortement des ressources végétales ligneuses pour la satisfaction de leurs besoins quotidiens. Dans un contexte pression anthropique croissante, l'évaluation vulnérabilité espèces s'avère impératif majeur permettre préservation et gestion durable ces ressources. Pour ce faire, enquêtes semi-structurées ont été menées chez Sénoufo, groupes ethniques dominants du Sud-Ouest Faso. La citées par personnes enquêtées a évaluée sur base d'un indice...
The lack of literature on the interactions between indigenous people and valuable agroforestry trees hinder promotion sustainable management plant resources in West African Sahel. This study aimed at assessing local uses Afzelia africana Sm. Burkina Faso, as a prerequisite to address issues domestication conservation. One thousand forty-four peoples seven dominant ethnic groups were questioned 11 villages through 221 semi-structured focus group interviews. surveys encompassed several rural...
ABSTRACT The role of plant diversity and biomass in ecosystem functioning management is well recognized. However, the structural drivers aboveground (AGB) their influence across savanna ecosystems remain understudied, particularly semi‐arid regions. Here, we hypothesized that (i) species richness would positively AGB vegetation strata (ii) environmental factors play a secondary compared to metrics. We tested these hypotheses using data from 160 systematically established plots (0.1 ha each)...
ABSTRACT A map of plant species diversity in Burkina Faso is presented based on field observations and specimen data from the Ouagadougou University Herbarium (OUA) Senckenbergianum (FR). collecting intensity illustrates centres botanical research activities Faso. To overcome problems associated with biased sampling intensity, distributions have been modelled extrapolated to maps vascular diversity, life forms four selected families (Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Dioscoreaceae Rubiaceae). The area...
Abstract In developing countries many people depend on woody resources for their livelihoods. Monitoring human impact the populations of socio‐economically important species is therefore conservation vulnerable plants. order to assess and compare population structure regeneration patterns three multipurpose species, namely Acacia seyal Del., Balanites aegyptiaca Delile Pterocarpus lucens Lepr. in four ethnic areas sub‐Sahel Burkina Faso (Samo, Gourmantché, Fulani Mossi), we used size‐class...
Vegetation succession depends on the availability of suitable propagules in soils, thus knowledge soil seed banks is essential for formulating effective strategies restoring vegetation degraded sites. The W National Park, only trans-boundary biosphere reserve West Africa, being extensively fragmented and recent decades. aims this study were to assess reserve's banks, their relationships with standing bundle disturbances potential significance restoration. size composition above-ground...
Abstract Nazinga Game Ranch (NGR) is a reserve in Burkina Faso involving local communities for securing biodiversity through sustainable management. Yet, its ecosystems are threatened by increasing number of elephants and illegal human activities. Renowned as model wildlife participatory management, NGR has mainly been studied animal only. The aim this study was to uncover ecological effects recent land management on savanna habitats including tourism, conclude more options, use/land cover...
