Comment on negative impacts for local communities
Pastoralists are the most affected by Asiyla activities because they are totally dependent on the forest. Indeed, the cohabitation of Asiyla with herders and their livestock is done with many difficulties, including the problems of goat raving and theft or destruction of fences. The types of conflicts can be approached in various ways depending on their frequency and intensity. Conflicts take place almost every day during the bleeding period (during the hot season) and the harvest (during the cooler period); and they are sometimes of high intensity with payment terms against the herders, but most of their incidence is settled amicably with the intervention of the local mayor. Relations between the company and the villagers are mainly marked by a lack of collaboration and a lack of communication. The local population complains about the decline in pastoral space and arable land.
