Each year the world's forests in general and / or the hinterland of Kinshasa (DRC) in particular is reduced because it is managed as a mine, that is to say, we draw without restitution. The forest contains much more than wood, the main source of income for the peasants. How is the production of wood fuels practiced? What are the cumulative effects of income from non-rational production of wood fuels? These two situations led us to assume that the causes are multiple and interrelated, generating various impacts. They are summarized in the reduction of biodiversity, the instability of the forest ecosystem, the depletion of a large part of the plant resources on which many economies are based. This article determines some cumulative effects on farmers' incomes.

Abstract
Each year the world's forests in general and / or the hinterland of Kinshasa (DRC) in particular is reduced because it is managed as a mine, that is to say, we draw without restitution. The forest contains much more than wood, the main source of income for the peasants. How is the production of wood fuels practiced? What are the cumulative effects of income from non-rational production of wood fuels? These two situations led us to assume that the causes are multiple and interrelated, generating various impacts. They are summarized in the reduction of biodiversity, the instability of the forest ecosystem, the depletion of a large part of the plant resources on which many economies are based. This article determines some cumulative effects on farmers' incomes.

Abstract: (french)
Chaque année, le couvert forestier mondial en général et/ou celui de l’hinterland de Kinshasa (RD Congo) en particulier se réduit du fait qu’il est géré comme une mine, c’est-à-dire qu’on y puise sans restitution. Or, la forêt renferme bien plus que du bois, source principale des revenus des paysans. Comment se pratique la production de combustibles ligneux ? Quels sont les effets cumulés des revenus dus à la production non rationnelle de combustibles ligneux ? Ces deux situations nous ont poussé à présupposer que les causes sont multiples et interreliées, générant des impacts divers. Elles se résument dans la réduction de la biodiversité, l’instabilité de l’écosystème forestier, l’épuisement d’une grande partie des ressources végétales sur lesquelles s’appuient de nombreuses économies. Cet article détermine quelques effets cumulés sur les revenus des paysans.
Author Keywords: Biodiversité, Combustibles ligneux, Forêt, Hinterland de Kinshasa, Paysans, revenu.
