In a significant gathering, representatives of traditional hunters, known as "Donzos," from various prefectures and regions of Guinea convened in Kankan to discuss unity, social cohesion, and their role in environmental protection. The meeting, held at the Union nationale des chasseurs de Guinée headquarters, aimed to strengthen bonds among members and reaffirm their commitment to environmental conservation. Moussa Koulibaly, vice-president of the union, emphasized the importance of unity and cooperation among Donzos.
The meeting also focused on a partnership between the Ministry of Environment and the Donzos, which assigns a crucial role to traditional hunters in preserving natural resources. Koulibaly explained that this partnership seeks to promote environmental protection, forest preservation, and conservation of endangered species and watercourses. He denounced the destruction of forests, killing of protected animals, and degradation of watercourses, which contribute to the disappearance of certain species and environmental degradation.
Koulibaly urged Donzos to respect Guinean legislation and the commitments outlined in the partnership with the Ministry of Environment. He emphasized the need for unity, solidarity, and social cohesion among Donzos, stressing that only unity can bring strength. The representatives were tasked with disseminating the partnership's content to other Donzos in their respective localities and raising awareness about the importance of environmental protection.
The Donzos' engagement in environmental protection is seen as a positive step towards preserving Guinea's natural resources. The country's environmental challenges, including deforestation and species extinction, require collective action from various stakeholders. The Donzos' pledge to protect the environment and preserve natural resources is expected to contribute to the country's conservation efforts.
Moussa Koulibaly reiterated the importance of respecting the law and the partnership's commitments, emphasizing that no one is above the law. He encouraged Donzos to prioritize environmental protection and work together to achieve their goals. The meeting's outcome is expected to have a positive impact on environmental conservation in Guinea.
The gathering in Kankan demonstrated the Donzos' willingness to strengthen their cohesion and assume greater responsibility in environmental preservation. The success of their efforts will depend on their ability to translate their commitments into concrete actions in various localities across the country. The partnership with the Ministry of Environment is expected to support the Donzos in their conservation efforts.
The Donzos' pledge to protect the environment has been welcomed by conservationists and environmentalists in Guinea. The country's rich biodiversity and natural resources require protection from degradation and exploitation.
