Although officially created, the protected reserve of Ngiri remains virtual, existing only on paper, many reasons can explain this hypothesis: - The insufficient national regulations, at least at the time of the establishment of this protected reserve, which had the effect of not having any application at the local level. - Conflicts of administrative and community interest arising from the overlapping of different laws or measures. - The authorities’ lack of interest in safeguarding biodiversity or the priorities given to other aspects of environmental management (development of fishing). - The local situation too complicated due to various conflicts between fishermen and eco-guards. - The lack of qualified personnel, of means, in particular financial resources, to implement measures for the sustainable management of the reserve. - The lack of skills in assessing the state of the environment and planning management. - The poor definition of the limits of the protected reserve, thus reducing its interest for the fauna and flora. - The very significant human pressure on the outskirts and the lack of ecological corridors to connect the reserve. - The lack of economic valuation of the said reserve.

Abstract
Although officially created, the protected reserve of Ngiri remains virtual, existing only on paper, many reasons can explain this hypothesis: - The insufficient national regulations, at least at the time of the establishment of this protected reserve, which had the effect of not having any application at the local level. - Conflicts of administrative and community interest arising from the overlapping of different laws or measures. - The authorities’ lack of interest in safeguarding biodiversity or the priorities given to other aspects of environmental management (development of fishing). - The local situation too complicated due to various conflicts between fishermen and eco-guards. - The lack of qualified personnel, of means, in particular financial resources, to implement measures for the sustainable management of the reserve. - The lack of skills in assessing the state of the environment and planning management. - The poor definition of the limits of the protected reserve, thus reducing its interest for the fauna and flora. - The very significant human pressure on the outskirts and the lack of ecological corridors to connect the reserve. - The lack of economic valuation of the said reserve.

Abstract: (french)
Bien que créée officiellement, la réserve protégée de Ngiri reste virtuelle, n’existant que sur le papier, de nombreuses raisons peuvent expliquer cette hypothèse: - La réglementation nationale insuffisante, tout au moins au moment de l’instauration de cette réserve protégée, ce qui a eu pour effet de ne pas avoir d’application au plan local. - Des conflits d’intérêt administratif et communautaire nés de la superposition de différentes lois ou mesures. - Le manque d’intérêt des autorités pour la sauvegarde de la biodiversité ou des priorités données à d’autres aspects de la gestion de l’environnement (développement de pêche). - La situation locale trop compliquée en raison de conflits divers entre les pêcheurs et les éco-gardes. - Le manque de personnel qualifié, de moyens, notamment financiers pour mettre en œuvre les mesures d’une gestion durable de la réserve. - Le manque de compétences en matière d’évaluation de l’état des milieux et de programmation de la gestion. - La mauvaise définition des limites de la réserve protégée, réduisant ainsi son intérêt pour la faune et la flore. - La pression humaine très importante en périphérie et le manque de corridors écologiques permettant de relier la réserve. - Le manque de valorisation économique de ladite réserve.
