During only one month, three law enforcement operations have been organized in Franceville.

First, Rose MBIDA has been arrested with an important quantity of bushmeat and two tusks on 17th of February.

Then, controls have been achieved in the airport, trainstation and markers on 8-9th of March.

Finally, a chimpazee has been seized.

These good results have been possible thanks to a good collaboration between Water and Forests officials and their partners and especially Conservation Justice.
