The situation of the Batwa forest dwellers and conservation of the Volcanoes National Park and Nyungwe Natural Forest, Rwanda

It reviews data gathered from a range of sectoral studies, and examines the fundamental activities of the NGOs and other institutions operating in the above zones. At the same time, the study examines the inability of the forest community and the local administration to mitigate the negative effects of the interventions carried out by the conservation NGOs and the ORTPN (Office rwandais du tourisme et des parcs nationaux).
