The aim of giving them motorbikes is one of the recommendations of the network organized by the Reserve on October 2007. This can allow these stakeholders to reach easily Epulu( headquarter of the Reserve ) for meeting, and run accordingly their own administration.

Really, It is a pleasure and good initiative from ICCN and his partners .Today I am able to reach all corners of my collectivity and control all illegal activities and then denounce ” said Mr. Apuobo one of the chiefs.

The last word of the ceremony was pronounced by Mr. Kebe (Mambasa’s administrator) who appealed all chiefs to collaborate with the Reserve authorities, and safeguard the ecosystem.

We all know that without petrol, these motorbikes cannot work, so we would like your support in terms of petrol. The average consummation is about US $300, 00 for 2 months.

alas, I hear the RFO has just lost one of its loyal motorcycle drivers. These drivers are so important and I am sure that it is making everyone very sad. My sympathy to you.
