Comment on former land use
The area was logged between 2007-2011
The area was logged between 1970-2009-- but only parts of the plantation. From 1970 to 1989, the forest massif was exploited around the NdelinguΓ© River by the EFBACA company. In 2001, the company SEFCA, which holds the neighboring permit, made an illegal incursion to the northeast of the permit, on a significant area, estimated at 10,000 ha. In 2002, this permit was registered in the forestry register under number 182, awarded to the Timber MbaΓ©rΓ©. However, no exploitation took place and the permit was returned to the state domain in 2003. In 2004, the re-numbered permit 185 was awarded to the company SCAF, which operates under a provisional under a provisional agreement, a surface area of 28,000 ha, and then began implementation of the development plan by the first AAC, with a surface area of 5,000 ha. SCAF ceases its activities in 2011 and the PEA 185 returns to the returned to the Domaine. In 2015, the PEA was reallocated under number 191 to RSM, which will not operate there until 2018.
