This paper focuses on the strategies used by local people to manage the natural resources around the Mont Béro classified forest in Nzérékoré. This management is marked by the authorities teaching reforestation techniques to farmers. At the same time, these farmers have their own methods for managing natural resources, either through the practice of agricultural fallowing or through the creation and protection of village areas. This strategy gives them access to non-timber and timber resources to meet their needs. However, the arrival of cattle breeders in the area complicates the management of these protected areas.

Abstract: (french)
Ce papier met l’accent sur les stratégies entreprises par les populations pour la gestion des ressources naturelles aux alentours de la forêt classée du Mont Béro situé à Nzérékoré. Cette gestion est marquée par l’apprentissage des techniques de reboisement aux paysans par les autorités. Parallèlement, ces paysans disposent de leurs propres méthodes de gestion des ressources naturelles soit par la pratique de la jachère agricole soit par la création et la protection des aires villageoises. Cette stratégie permet d’avoir accès aux ressources non ligneuses et ligneuses afin de subvenir à leurs besoins. Cependant, l’arrivée des éleveurs de bovins dans la zone complique la gestion de ces aires protégées.
Author Keywords: Ressources naturelles, gestion, agriculture, élevage, mont Béro.
