The document discusses a research project called CoForTips that was funded by several national funders as part of the 2012 BiodivERsA call for research proposals. It also mentions that the research was additionally supported by the CoForSet project, which was funded by the FRB 2013 call for research proposals on scenarios of biodiversity in sub-Saharan Africa. The project explores coupling social and ecological drivers to examine alternative futures for the forests of the Congo Basin from 2000 to 2050.

Editor's Notes
- Our research tells a story of long-term ecological changes, evolving agricultural practices and shifting livelihood strategies as new opportunities arise, changes in the tenure rights that follow the trends of the landscape changes, and of the norms and policies that will shape the forests futures. All this is good research. But it remains at best multi-disciplinary research. It provides a static vision of trends as they are happening.
- A regional map of forest types has been produced based on a classification of the seasonal profiles of photosynthetic activity (measured by EVI, Enhanced Vegetation Index) as derived from a 13-y time series (2000-2012) of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer) satellite data. Ten terra firme forest classes were identified and interpreted in terms of deciduousness and structure based on 37,898 0.5-ha ground truth plots gathered from 19 forest companies. Radar and Lidar data were also used to discriminate the swamp forests.

- Seances test et séances “ en situation” Nous observons apres la phase d’apprentissage – deux premiers tous, la mise en place de strategies de subsitance – des menages se specialisent dans la chasse, d’autre d’autre investissent dans du cacao. La terre n’est pas une resource limitante, les densites sont faibles. Les goulots d’etranglement sont l’ecoulement des produits et l’acces a la monnaie. Les solutions envisages par les acteurs ne font pas montre de cooperation, et la vente au marche est totalement desorganisee. Premier arrive?premier servi.
