DES SCÉNARIOS STRATÉGIQUES POUR UNE RÉFLEXION PROSPECTIVE SUR LES COUPLAGES ÉCOLOGIQUES ET HUMAINS DANS LA PLAINE INONDABLE DU LOGONE (EXTRÊME-NORD CAMEROUN).

Rural localities, entirely dependent on agropastoral and fisheries production activities, use various techniques to maximize the products and profits offered by the resources of the environment. However, the constraints facing producers lead them to develop survival strategies that determine the maintaining, continuation or even the future of their activities. Thus, herders and fishermen find themselves in competition for the control of the space and resources of this fragile environment. By addressing the question of the future of this cohabitation, this reflection attempts to explore different probable futures, given the physical conditions of the environment, the economic assets and constraints, the relationships between human and non-human actors, as well as the standards governing the various activities. The strategic scenarios built on evolutionary hypotheses are intended either to draw attention to certain issues, or to suggest certain decisions that will help maintain the balance of this interactive fish-pastoral system in this changing area. This forward-looking approach is identified as an asset for thinking and designing a better evolution of human ecological couplings in this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
