Here is my team! we were heading to Penessoulou and decided to make a stop at Wari Maro to pay a visit to a colleague Forester. Wari Maro is a village bordering the Wari Maro - Monts Kouffe Forest reserve. There is a new project (knowm as PAMF) working on the conservation of the forest (one of the biggest of the country) in a participatory way. Unfortunately, conservation projects in Benin are always using the "ecosystem approach" or "space conservation approach", with the ideas that if the forest is not cleared, the species will be conserved. And I do not totally agree with that view and suggest that we look at specific species facing heavy harvest and threatened with extinction. That might be combined with the 'ecosystem conservation approach"
