An environmental impact study was conducted in April 2019 as a prelude to the development of an industrial zone on the outskirts of the city of Korhogo. The purpose of this study was to collect data on the flora in order to assess the diversity and determine the conservation status of the species of the site. The itinerant flora inventory method and the phytosociological survey method were used. The results of the study indicate that the plant community consists of 73 species in 69 genera and 32 families. The most frequently encountered species are Hyptis suaveolens Poit, Chromolaena odorata (L.) R. King & H. R, Diospyros mespiliformis Hochst. ex A. DC., and Vitellaria paradoxa C.F.Gaertn. In addition, 5 species of high ethnobotanical value and 2 species according to the red list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), Carissa edulis Vahl. and Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir., have a special status of conservation.
