Mais encore me direz-vous...
Cet intitulé de mission récapitule parfaitement for which I am supposed to go on a mission. It is in the far north province Cameroon, studies of land that can keep track of the changing environment, both fauna and flora that aquatic environments, fisheries, etc. .. .
The Waza-Logone region is located in the Lake Chad Basin, south of Lake Chad, a vast floodplain during periods of rain and several months later. The rainfall occurs from June to September, and water covers this vast area until March. During this period, saw the flood plain and gives way to lush vegetation, which satisfies both the activity pastoralist, the animal stomachs. Besides the rivers and lakes that benefit from these floods, and even all the fishing societies.
However, after some development projects in the late 1970s, especially the construction of dams upstream of rivers, flooded areas previously were left largely without water for the benefit of rice culture. This has had serious consequences on the environmental balance of the region, as well as on human populations living in this economy rains. Since then, the floodgates of dams have been more open to allowing the return of life in these areas. But some "legacy" remain.
My job will be to provide logistical support and humane place. I should especially devote myself to writing papers for future field studies. I will also be on the field to observe and advance in preliminary studies. It is a program loose that should not be closely watched. For more details, click on the title of this post!
I will also try to reconcile the on-site work with that I carry in college and dealing with the issue of "environmental refugees" (= people who flee their native habitat following degradation of their environment) of the Lake Chad area. I can further develop later the exact purpose of my research project.
That in a nutshell what awaits me there. It seems that I must prepare myself to discover one of the most beautiful part of Africa. I only wish to see.
you soon ... from there this time!
