The low e vall Mono, the lagoon c ti re, mouth of Roy and the lagoon Gbaga extending west to Togo for merging with the lagoon of year ho o drain the ORC and the Haho together constitute a syst me fluvio-lacustrine common b nin and Togo. This syst offers me not only corridors of migration for the esp these animal marine and inland (hippopotamus, manatee, turtle marine on the c te etc), but also a wintering for the esp habitat these Arctic pal birds including terns. The initial diagnosis made in certain area of the project r v s village the problems my low protection and valorisation of the natural resources of the wetlands accentuated by conflicts animal men. In addition, there is the lack d shares concert are in the field of ecotourism and failure in the dynamics of sustainable agricultural production. The specific project objectives are: 1) stimulate local production Dynamics agro - ecological sustainable with the communities along of the project area and 2) put in place tools s adapt local governance and promotion of biodiversity. The submitted project is intended to be a pilot project that would take l community ecotourism as a tool d am improvement of the quality of management plans (d) cross-border water which the Mono River in the case of esp this.
