The study of landscape management conducted in the surroundings of Kinshasa confirms the degradation of the herbaceous formation. The results of forest inventories and ethnoscience surveys carried out on an objective sample of 60 plots and among 125 households reveal significant percentages at the political, ecological, and environmental levels, as well as a very severe degradation index at the ecosystem level. This constitutes evidence of poor management of this formation. The causes of this degradation are linked to management options that give less importance to the ecosystem and its resources.

Abstract: (french)
L’étude de la gestion du paysage menée dans les environs de Kinshasa atteste la dégradation de la formation herbacée. Les résultats des inventaires forestiers et enquêtes en Ethnosciences menés dans un échantillon objectif des 60 placettes et auprès des 125 ménages révèlent des importants pourcentages aux niveaux: politique, écologique et environnemental et un indice Très grave de la dégradation au niveau de l’écosystème. Ce qui est une preuve de la mauvaise gestion de cette formation. Les causes de cette dégradation se situent au niveau des options de gestion qui accordent moins d’importance à l’écosystème et à ses ressources.
