[Video] A tool in the fight against Acacia mangium: cutting to ground level
Acacia mangium is an invasive tree, originating from Australia and introduced into French Guiana in the 1980s. In open areas, such as the dry savannas of French Guiana, it is a menace both for the native flora and the fauna. Since 2013, GEPOG, under the auspices of the Life+ Cap DOM programme in French Guiana, along with its partners DEAL and the Conservatoire du Littoral, has been testing techniques to control this species. Cutting down adult trees to ground level, as undertaken by the company Elaguyane, has produced some encouraging results as far as protecting heritage habitats is concerned, as shown here at the site of Pripris de Yiyi.
Un outil de lutte contre Acacia mangium : le tronçonnage
Acacia mangium est une espèce invasive, venue d’Australie et introduite en Guyane dans les années 80. En milieu ouvert, comme dans les savanes sèches guyanaises, elle est une menace pour la faune et flore autochtone. Depuis 2013, le GEPOG, dans le cadre du LIFE+ CAP DOM en Guyane, aux côtés de ses partenaires, la DEAL et le Conservatoire du Littoral, teste des techniques de lutte contre cette espèce. Le tronçonnage des acacia adultes, mené de concert avec l’entreprise Elaguyane, montrent des résultats encourageants pour la préservation de ce milieu patrimonial comme ici, sur le site des pripris de Yiyi.
