The aim of this study is to map the anthropogenic obstacles that hinder the mobility of giraffes as well as the socio-economic impact that emerges from them. Thus, field visits, coordinate taking (GPS) and structured surveys were conducted using questionnaires and interview guides. The mapping of anthropogenic obstacles in the rural commune of Harikanassou and the rural commune of Kouré showed that the railway, National Road No. 1 and lateritic tracks are the main obstacles that hinder the mobility of giraffes. A survey involved ten (10) villages including 200 people composed of agropastoralists and three (3) interviews with 2 managers and the president of the tourist guides. This survey shows that the giraffe is common throughout the study area (according to 81% of respondents) and they return during the rainy season to the Kouré plateau; and they move up to the Harikanassou area during the rest of the seasons of the year. Significant damage (in fields and on fodder species) is observed at the beginning of the rainy season (according to 72% of respondents in the rural commune of Kouré) and during the cold season (according to 40% of respondents in the rural commune of Harikanassou).

This study was conducted at Intchimia’s recovered site. Its objective is to determine the impact of land reclamation techniques on millet productivity. The experimental device used is a randomized block with four treatments (DL half-moon, CP stony cords, half-moon + stony cords DL-CP and control T) and three repetitions. Parameters monitored were phenological growth and components of millet yield. Results showed that water and soil conservation techniques have a better influence on the development and productivity of millet. The best results were obtained in the DL treatments (plant height: 229.46 cm; grain weight: 1936.11 kg / ha and biomass weight: 6.24 t / ha) and CP-DL (height of plant: 226.93 cm; grain weight: 1692.83 kg/ha and biomass weight: 5.65 t/ha). These results made it possible to demonstrate that DL and DL-CP are the most suitable as a promoted area for the production of millet at the level of the recovered soils.
