Ja.Ca.Mbé

Lutter contre le changement climatique, autonomiser les communautés locales

Le Projet

L’Initiative Ja.Ca.Mbé est un projet de boisement et de reboisement transformateur, mené par Renco Green, au cœur de la République du Congo. Il a été créé dans le but d’atténuer les impacts du changement climatique, en générant des crédits carbone, tout en soutenant le développement de la communauté locale de la région.

NOTRE ENGAGEMENT

Boiser des zones de savane dégradée, reboiser et préserver les parcelles forestières déjà présentes dans la région tout en améliorant le bien-être social, environnemental et économique de la communauté locale pour les 30 prochaines années.

Ja.Ca.Mbé est géré par Renco Green, qui détient une concession de 30 ans du gouvernement congolais pour gérer 40 000 hectares de terres locales. Le projet s’aligne sur le programme ProNAR, soutenu par le ministère des Affaires forestières.

Développement des terres

40 000 hectares de savane dégradée seront couverts par des Acacia Mangium

Crédit carbone

Des crédits carbone certifiés seront produits tout au long du cycle de vie de ce projet.

Soutien à la communauté

Le projet s’engage à soutenir les membres de la communauté locale dans les dimensions sociale, environnementale et économique.

Une initiative révolutionnaire visant à créer un impact environnemental et social positif.

NOTRE ENGAGEMENT

Développement des terres

Ja.Ca.Mbé a son point focal à Mbé, un village situé dans le district de Ngabe de la République du Congo. Mbé revêt une importance particulière pour ce projet car il est situé sur le plateau de Batéké, une zone prouvée être très favorable aux initiatives de boisement. Les terres seront développées par étapes clés année après année grâce au reboisement des zones de savane actuellement dégradées et au renforcement de l’environnement existant grâce à la conservation des parcelles forestières.

Consultez les étapes annuelles de progression du boisement et du reboisement.

NOTRE ENGAGEMENT

La communauté locale

Les communautés locales jouent un rôle crucial dans Ja.Ca.Mbé, contribuant activement à son développement continu. Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous nous engageons à aider à favoriser et à soutenir les communautés locales en trouvant des moyens innovants de les soutenir dans les domaines clés de la santé, de l’éducation et des infrastructures.

Le Projet s’est engagé à réaliser et à respecter le ‘Cahier de charge’, officiellement signé avec les communautés locales, pour s’engager dans des travaux sociaux chaque année de l’activité du Projet jusqu’en 2034. Ces efforts sont axés sur la réhabilitation des infrastructures dans les villages. Cela comprend la collaboration avec le système scolaire local, le système de santé, ainsi que l’amélioration de l’accès à l’électricité et à l’eau.

The Ja.Ca.Mbé Afforestation and Reforestation Process

E&S Assessment

The first step of the reforestation process involves carefully studying the land to analyse several conditions, including the environment, social quality and the local climate. The land plots in Mbe where selected because they are positioned on the Batéké Plateau, an area proven to be highly favorable for forestation initiatives.

Plant Selection

Acacia Mangium was chosen for carbon capture after extensive analyses by sector experts, literature reviews, and consultations with project partners. Considering the soil type and project goals, it emerged as the optimal species. However, alternatives like Acacia Auriculiformis or Eucalyptus may be explored to enhance biodiversity in our agroforestry system.
This fast-growing tree, native to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, has been successfully introduced to humid tropical lowlands in Asia, South America, and Africa. A multipurpose tree used in agroforestry and land restoration, Acacia mangium, through nitrogen fixation, improves soil fertility and nutrient cycling in degraded systems.
Its rapid growth, nitrogen-fixing ability, high biomass production, and adaptability make it a preferred species. Additionally, it contributes to soil improvement, serving in agroforestry associations and as improved fallow. Acacia mangium also plays a vital role in wood energy supply, helping alleviate pressure on forest ecosystems and restore degraded areas with a calorific value of 4,800 to 4,900 kcal/kg.

Site Preparation

During the months of the dry season before planting, teams of agricultural machine operators, supported by surveyors, will need to prepare the portions of land that will be involved in planting during the subsequent rainy season.
Once the land portion to be worked on is identified, the responsible teams will have to carry out the following activities:

  • Clearing bushes and grasses (using tractors equipped with shredders).
  • Plowing.
  • Crushing/harrowing.
  • Preparation of tracks that will be used throughout the project’s duration. These tracks will facilitate the movement of all types of vehicles within the plots during various planned activities.

Nursery

Planting of the seeds into the land plots occurs every 3 months, before this time plants are first cultivated in the local nursery, where they are taken care of by local community staff members. The activity within the nursery will be mainly based on the sowing and growth of plants, which will then be transplanted into the plots.

Maintenance

During the first year after planting, it will be necessary to assist and monitor the rooting and growth of the trees. In this regard, the following activities will be required, which can—either in whole or in part—be carried out by staff from the villages under the supervision of technical personnel:

  • Irrigation of new plants.
  • Fertilisation.
  • Cleaning and weeding.

Ten to twelve months after planting, the trees will have grown significantly, allowing the declaration of the existence of a real forest. From that moment onward, the forest will no longer need human support, and the staff’s activities will be oriented solely towards vigilance and monitoring. This is to prevent and, if necessary, address events that could pose a threat to tree growth, such as fires, illegal logging, vandalism, etc.
