A research has been made in Katana area in order to know the causes of woody flora disappearance in the occidental part of Kivu Lake in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Investigation method and free observations helped us on the ground. The obtained results confirmed that the woody flora have been damaged by human activities. 100% of population from the area has agreed the flora damage. Agriculture takes the first place as the cause of woody flora disappearance about 36% followed by the research of the live embers and firewood which takes 20%, building is concerned about 17%; sawmill about 15% and the brickworks take 12%.

Abstract: (french)
Une étude a été menée dans la région de Katana dans le but de déterminer les causes de disparition de la flore ligneuse sur cette partie occidentale du lac Kivu en République Démocratique du Congo. Les méthodes d'enquête et d'observation libre nous ont servi sur terrain. Les résultats obtenus nous ont confirmé que la diversité floristique ligneuse connait une pression par les activités anthropogéniques. 100% de la population enquêtée confirment la dégradation de cette flore. L'agriculture occupe le premier rang soit 36% comme activité étant à la base de disparition de la flore ligneuse suivie de la recherche des braises et bois de chauffe qui occupe 20%,la construction en est responsable à17% , la scierie 15% et l'activité de briqueterie qui en est responsable à 12%.
Author Keywords: Causes, Disparition, Flore ligneuse, Région de Katana.
