This book explores customary management of forest lands in northern Idiofa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Through an in-depth analysis of traditional practices and contemporary challenges linked to soil degradation, climate change and socio-economic pressures, the book proposes a governance model that integrates ancestral knowledge and the principles of sustainable development. It sheds light on local dynamics, customary land rights and natural resource conservation strategies, while offering recommendations for aligning these practices with the national forest code. This book is aimed at researchers, policy-makers, environmental managers and local communities involved in the preservation of forest ecosystems.
