摘要

The UNESCO reserve Man and Biosphere (MAB) of Ipassa-Makou, located in north-east Gabon (Central Africa), was well studied by the scientists of the CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) from 1963 to 1985 (more than 400 publications, collections, an herbarium, a scientific journal Biologica gabonica and infrastructures which could receive scientists in the forest). In consequence, the vertebrate fauna of the reserve is particularly well known: 128 mammal species, 424 bird species, 65 reptile species and 47 amphibian species. Unfortunately, the reserve was abandoned by the CNRS in 1985 and by scientists in general. Since that time, the reserve has been submitted to high human pressures (poaching, agriculture). The main goal of this study is to survey the present reserve faunistic resources. In order to estimate the densities of some species of macro-mammals still present in the reserve, we conducted line-transect censures. We censured elephants, monkeys and duikers because they are the main preoccupation of researchers and wildlife managers in African rain forests. We conducted censures during two periods between 2000 (May-September) and 2001 (April-June). Eight censures were carried out on each side of the Niabare River in order to cover the reserve (100 km~2). Each census route covered 5 km and we walked each census five times. We used identical methods during censures. Observers conducted all censures between 07:30 and 12:30 h. During each census, we walked slowly, travelling approximately 1 km per h, and pausing at regular intervals to scan the forest. Data were obtained from direct (individuals or group of individuals sighted) and indirect (chimpanzee and gorilla nests, elephant dung piles) observations. Results indicate that, in spite of high human pressure, all the large taxe are still present in the reserve. The densities observed are generally similar to those found in African rain forests. Nevertheless, some local variations were detected. The most abundant cerco-pithecines species present in the reserve are greater white-nosed monkeys (Cercopithecus nictitans) (56,43 ind/km~2), moustached monkeys (Cercopithecus cephus) (19.08 ind/km~2) and mona monkeys (Cercopithecus pogonias) (7.07 ind/km~2). If greater white-nosed monkeys are the most abundant diurnal primates present in the reserve, it is not the case in the north-east Gabon forests where mona monkeys are more numerous. On the contrary to the cercopithecines, duikers densities are relatively low. The estimated density of blue duikers (Cephalophus monticola) is 8.04 ind/km~2. Nevertheless, in the eighties, densities were estimated to be over than 50 ind/km~2. This result indicates that blue duikers may have experienced significant reduction over the past 20 years at Ipassa-Makokou. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are still present in the reserve while they have disappreared upstream of the Ivindo great river. Estimate of lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) density is 0.75 ind/km~2 and is greater than that previously censured in the region (0.44 ind/km~2). This difference may be explained by the fact that a group of individuals would have crossed the reserve during the census period. Estimates of elephant (Loxodonta africana) abundance from indirect (dung piles) and direct observations are respectively 0.58 ind/km~2 and 1.10 ind/km~2. These densities are in the range of those censured in West Africa (Ghana, Ivory Coast and Central African Republic) All these results confer a particular interest on this reserve which is located near the town of Makokou and which can serve as a model for conservation purposes in the region.
