Lingoni is the only village of l d Anjouan Islands see the Comoros which has a potential standard in hydraulic energy, over three villages b n benefit from fruit d electricity and yet it has over 200 lambics situ at the foot of Mount Tringui, the activity of distillation is performed by the property owners land holdings d ylang which have in principle that this activity lead to meet their daily needs. L ylang distillation is first and foremost a family activity o s husband occupies gathering or with members of his family or by recruiting and seasonal. For wood, the Manager of the distillery ach te trees and cut back the distillery. But today the stills, cause of the faction of dead wood and l water rar, s implant along the rivi res and m me to sources of these rivi res o wood is nearby. Anjouan, three villages are cr es around the stills to the sources of the rivi res. Should pr clarify that people use today saw electric instead of an axe, this situation has as cons consequences imm necessities, the afforestation of all d the r regions of the island as well as the afforestation. The rivi res s ass appear and disappear dangerously, d payment of distillation waste d in res rivi pollutes water which makes place these rivi res naus abound. Biodiversity and agroecosystem l me to d down continuously, the erosion of land and its depletion appear which endangers l agriculture and l lifting of animals. This situation is r struck on l ecotourism activities, d desertion of the villages to swell the cities especially for leaving the to go work on the other 3 the. L d s Anjouan depletes human resources and environmental quality, a potential danger to the stability of the country. Distillation needs amount standard of firewood, a Distiller comes from entrust us with what it has bought for 2 months more 200 m3 of firewood. Distillation needs lot of water to operate. A recent inquiry r te has identified the existence of 300 stills diss s min along the rivi res existing since a single distillation needs s pr of 6 m3 water per 24 hours fi d is d m swim these distillers, change them by other who will use heavy fuel oil burners and a syst me d water cooling circuit ferm. These new stills all geront considers much of the working conditions of the distillers by the fact d use a heavy fuel oil burner. Distiller n longer face heat d e gag by wood fire. At present, women to poor regions r l who n the d option use the oil for domestic needs p are really struggling for cooking cause of dead wood which is taken by distillers. This project short term will all protect the lives of women of the Anjouanese villages. Creating other activities g n spin-offs of income could reduce this type of activity which has n negative environment effects, then Tools of batches of kits to the women in sight as they can op r es res pini and be skillful p s monitoring of plants repiqu and reforestation techniques. These reforestation actions promote r g n ration for ts and an increase of d-bit level of the hydraulic turbine. Overall objective of the project: sustainable and rational management of natural resources for the well-tre of the entire population. Objectives specific: reduce the afforestation and pressure in the for d r ts for the preservation of l agroecosystem pr me and its biodiversity; 2.former women, and local artisans manufacture of furnaces am s lior 3.sensibilisation and mentoring for women for sale, the extension and multiplication of technology d
