the solely no one that usually takes care of hunt. It
didn't exist criteria of exclusion so that a household is
eligible. This sample permitted to have a reasonable
precision on the identification of hunters and the
practice of hunt. The number of retained hunters also
obeyed the demographic weight of every village.
Otherwise, within a same household (or members of
family living together) if several topics exercise hunt,
only one among them was selected by uncertain pull.
In any case, the consent of the topic constituted a
previous; this one was interrogated in the absence of a
member of the family or a third person.

Procedure of the Investigation
The used method, during all the length of the survey,
was the interview of type "one day given" and of
interviews with questionnaire. They have been achieved
very well in language vehicular «munukutuba» or
«
kikongo» (called "kituba" again), spoken extensively
by populations; either in local languages "vili and
lumbu" very rife in the region of the park.
4.4
Studied Variables
The survey consisted, after the direct observations, by
a meticulous description of the hunter identity and the
structure of the hunt practice. The sex, age, the social
statute and relations between different parameters also
constituted variables of the survey.
4.5
Statistical Analysis
The descriptive figures have been used in order to
determine, besides percentages of hunters, averages,
gaps types of age and intervals of confidence (IC).
The survey of the relation between different factors
has been done with the help of the test of khi two. The
significantly of differences discerned between 2
percentages has been verified according to the classic
tests of the statistical inferential. The comparison of
several percentages has been done with the help of the
S test of Serlin and Beauvois (1991). For it the value
of comparison 2 is given by tables of 2 to (h

the harvested data have been treated with the help of
Ear-Info software and Statistics (Stat Soft, Inc. 1993).
Acknowledgments
We thank the set of agents of the Conkouati-Douli National Park,
particularly Mr. Grégoire Bonassidi, Curator, for his own implication in the
verification of information at the time of the investigation. We also wish to
thank the set of our investigators and they find here all our recognition for
the realization of this inventory and hunters for their active involvement.
