Summary

Description
English: The Boyoma Falls rapids/cataracts of the Lualaba River — near Kisangani, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
  • The Wagenya peoples are indigenous fishermen who have developed a unique technique to fish in the river. They build a huge system of wooden tripods across the river. These tripods are anchored on the holes naturally carved in the rock by the water current. To these tripods are anchored large fish trap baskets, which are lowered in the rapids to “sieve” the waters for fish. It is a very selective fishing method, as these baskets are quite big and only large fish are entrapped.
Français : Les pêcheurs Wagenia au fleuve Congo près de Kisangani.
  • Les Wagenia ( ou Wagenya ou Genya) sont un peuple de pêcheurs du bassin du fleuve Lualaba en amont de Kisangani. Ils ont développé une technique unique au monde lançant des échafaudages de maigres troncs assemblés par des lianes au dessus des rapides. Avec une incroyable agilité, ils parcourent ce dispositif pour le réparer, l'agrandir, le déplacer ou encore poser ou relever leurs nasses. Diapositive numerisé.
