Kisimbosa-Chamakasa is one of the main APACs supported by ANAPAC in the DRC, with a view to conserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems through traditional methods and practices, and preserving cultural and spiritual values. APAC Kisimbosa-Chamakasa, secured under CFCL status, is located in the Bakano groupement, Walikale territory, North Kivu province. With a total surface area of 5572.57 ha, this territory of indigenous Pygmy peoples has been granted the status of local community forest concession (CFCL) by an Arrêté of the Provincial Governor allocating a forest concession to the local community of Bambuti Babuluko in the Bakano sector, Walikale territory. Kisimbosa-Chamakasa thus makes a major contribution to in situ biodiversity conservation through the traditional use of natural resources based on customary rules and practices.
