The Deputy Prime Minister of the Environment and Sustainable Development, who leads her activities, returned in her words to the symbolism represented by the double choice of Yangambi to house this work.
From a historical point of view, Eve Bazaiba Masudi points out, the Yangambi concession established in 1933, which constitutes one of the most important agricultural research institutions at the international level, employing more than 350 researchers from all over the world, is currently part of the global network of biosphere reserves.
