Thirty-three years of land cover change analysis on Idjwi Island (DRC) using remote sensing and landscape metrics
Idjwi Island, in Lake Kivu, DRC, faces increased vulnerability to human activities due to its isolation. A 33-year study (1990–2023) analysed land cover changes using remote sensing, landscape metrics, and the Random Forest algorithm. Landsat images were georeferenced, corrected, and classified to assess these changes. Results showed dramatic deforestation, with forest cover dropping from 57.16 km2 (20.61%) in 1990 to 3.25 km2 (1.17%) in 2023, wi…
Edible caterpillars and their host plants
Protected area creation and its limited effect on deforestation
The Kiziba-Baluba hunting domain (KBHD) is located near the city of Lubumbashi. • The increasing human pressure induces forest cover loss within the KBHD. • Savanna, which extent in the landscape, constitutes the actual dominant land cover in the KBHD. • The establishment of the KBHD in an anthropized region failed to stop deforestation. The study examines the spatiotemporal dynamics of landscape anthropization in the Kiziba-Baluba Hunting Domain…
Diversity and availability of edible caterpillar host plants in the Luki biosphere reserve landscape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Edible caterpillars are an important food and economic resource for rural African people. However, they are subject to a number of threats; in particular, their host plants are threatened. The Luki Biosphere Reserve landscape is a region of the Democratic Republic of Congo where the practice of eating caterpillars is a recent phenomenon; however, rural communities have reported their scarcity. This study assessed the diversity and availability of…

Dynamique de l’occupation du sol autour des sites miniers le long du gradient urbain-rural de la ville de Lubumbashi, RD Congo
Description du sujet. À Lubumbashi, la croissance spatiale urbaine rapide (plus de 5 % par an) et non planifiée concourt à des changements importants de l’occupation du sol, en particulier autour des sites miniers où de fortes concentrations de métaux lourds dans les sols présentent d’énormes conséquences environnementales et sanitaires. Objectifs. La présente étude vise à évaluer le processus d’anthropisation des paysages autour des sites minier…
Mycotoxins in Stored Barley (Hordeum vulgare) in Tibet Autonomous Region (People's Republic of China)
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic chemical compounds produced by fungi infesting agricultural crops both during crop growth and storage. Such secondary metabolites, when ingested, can produce toxic syndromes in humans. This study is the first survey that documents the occurrence of mycotoxins in stored barley in Tibet Autonomous Region [P.R. China]. Twenty-five samples of barley collected from Tibet were analyzed for the presence of aflato…
Ethnobotanical and chemical surveys of an edible wild legume
Urariapicta (Jacq.) DC. belongs to the family Leguminosae: Papilionoidae. It is an annual woody erect herb or under‐shrub with edible seeds. In order to evaluate what is known about this species and its seed consumption in Ivory‐Coast, an ethnobotanical investigation was carried out in the department of Séguéla, in the north of the country. The contents of protein and lipid in seeds were analyzed. The ethnobotanical surveys revealed that people b…
Edible wild vegetable products in the Zambezian woodland area
Having defined the Zambezian woodland, the edible wild vegetable products occurring in this area are reviewed. As well as 21 cultivated plants, 241 wild species have been listed, of which 184 were sampled and their nutritional value established. These results are discussed. Where available, the collecting period, the type of vegetation in which the species occurs, the Kibemba dialect name and the voucher number of the reference specimen are also …
Rodents of the Miombo woodland area
Rodents contribute greatly to the diet of the populations established in the Zambezian woodland area. Approximately 20 species are eaten, of which 12 were sampled. Having specified their ecology, the authors note their nutritional value and discuss its importance
