The rate of annual deforestation in DRC passed from 0.44% (for the period of 2000 to 2010) to 1.25% (for the period of 2010 to 2014) estimates FAO. The danger is thus so eminent that it is important to act urgently. The objective of our research was to understand the challenges of the irrational use of the forest resources with Kamituga, in the province of the South-Kivu and to propose tracks of solution for a sustainable development. An investigation was conducted near 765 people, was coupled with the interviews and documentation. The results raise that the number of forest owners doubled between 2014 and 2017 passing from 620 to 1200. The population to 52.2% is justified by the research of the money for survival while 83.7% live in the ignorance of the laws protecting the environment. The negative impact of deforestation is felt to 79.5% on the natural environment and 20.5% on the human environment. To cure it the awakening and the action of the actors concerned at the local level, national and world prove to be essential.

Abstract: (french)
Le taux de déforestation annuelle en RDC est passé de 0,44% (pour la période de 2000 à 2010) à 1,25% (pour la période de 2010 à 2014) estime la FAO. Le danger est donc si éminent qu’il importe d’agir urgemment. L’objectif de notre recherche a été de comprendre les enjeux de l’utilisation irrationnelle des ressources forestières à Kamituga, dans la province du Sud-Kivu et proposer des pistes de solution pour un développement durable. Une enquête a été menée auprès de 765 personnes, couplée aux interviews et la documentation. Les résultats relèvent que le nombre d’exploitants forestiers a doublé entre 2014 et 2017 passant de 620 à 1200. La population est à 52,2% motivée par la recherche de l’argent pour la survie pendant que 83,7% vit dans l’ignorance des lois protégeant l’environnement. L’impact négatif de la déforestation se fait sentir à 79,5% sur le milieu naturel et à 20,5% sur le milieu humain. Pour y remédier la prise de conscience et l’action des acteurs concernés au niveau local, national et mondial s’avère indispensable.
