I'm part of a network for action and protection of primates in Côte d'Ivoire, called RASAPCI. One of our priority intervention sites is the Tanoé-Ehy swamp forest (FMTE). The FMTE is a forest block located in the south-eastern region of Côte d'Ivoire, between latitudes 5°05 and 5°15 North and longitudes 2°45 and 2°53 West. The RNV-FMTE reserve covers an area of over 10,000 ha and is bounded by the Éhy lagoon to the west, and by the Tanoé river to the east and south. It is located in the Tiapoum Department, straddling the sub-prefectures of Noé, Nouamou and Tiapoum. Our research has documented that this forest contains over 1,800 endemic plants, 35 mammals, 15 birds and 4 amphibians, all endemic and/or threatened. The richness and uniqueness of the FMTE fauna make this forest a high conservation value forest, which has helped to confer on it the status of Voluntary Nature Reserve under community management from December 2021.We place the local community at the heart of our activities with a view to achieving sustainable actions for the conservation and protection of this RNV-FMTE.
