This is a women’s job. And they need a permit to do so.

Woman showing her permit to collect wood

During one patrol day in Ishango, we found a group of women collecting dead wood from the forest.

They were very deep inside, 10 km into the forest, and this can be dangerous, for there is a lot of wildlife and something can happen to them. They had no permit, we had to confiscate their load and machetes.
