The biodiversity of the Congo Basin is a resource that must be well known and managed. Despite the strong pressure exerted on it, biodiversity still contains emblematic species that must be preserved. In addition to their biological importance, tropical forests remain essential for the riparian populations. Hence the need for rational and efficient management.We were interested in a seasonal catch assessment of endangered species fish. The results obtained during this research prove the failure to respect the capture of certain species of fish without taking into account the respect of the season (the calendar, the fishing zones as well as the biological maturity).This state of affairs sufficiently proves that the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock as well as that of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism through the various services do not apply the regulatory measures for conservation of halieutic diversity.

We start from the conception that the implementation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) aims to promote sustainable development and that sustainable development is the response to the ecological and social crisis that is now manifest in a globalized manner. Particularly the exploitation of projects likely to generate impacts on the bio-physical and socio-economic environment. Has DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) known the promotion of sustainable development after having introduced the EIA from 2002 through mining code fifteen years later? Does the implementation of the EIA system in the Congolese mining sector actually constitute a strategic vision for sustainable development or a conceptual approach? Or more concretely: does the implementation of the EIA system in the industrial mining sector in DRC get along with the principles of sustainable development? After collecting and processing data related to the implementation of EIA in the Congolese mining sector, we have reached after analyzing results the conclusion that the implementation of EIA in the Congolese mining sector does not accommodate the principles of sustainable development and has not significantly contributed to the promotion of the socio-economic development of present and future generations, and therefore does not constitute a strategic vision for sustainable development in the DRC.
