This booklet presents the story of a forestry community where part of the forests have been abusively managed with the result that community members are insecure and depend on forest resources for their livelihood.
A community member who has heard and seen what has been done in another village by Tropenbos DR Congo with IIED returns home to sensitize his family to do something similar in their community because the time is serious! This is how the adventure of a community that is working on its own to protect the forests and develop sustainable economic activities begins, before going to ask Tropenbos DR Congo to support them in their local development initiative.
