Dio:Sanaba The village of Dio, situated approximately ten kilometers from Sanaba, has inaugurated a one-hectare fenced village forest aimed at preserving forest resources. The inauguration took place on November 3, 2026, during a site visit led by Marie Kirgalou Keré, head of the Water and Forestry Department.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the event was attended by key figures including Rémi Konaté, representative of the president of the Sanaba Special Delegation, Balahona Dembélé, the village chief of Dio, Cenimavo Dembélé, president of the Village Development Council, and representatives from the municipal Water and Forestry Department. The delegation inspected the infrastructure to ensure compliance with requirements, culminating in the signing of acceptance documents.

The initiative aims to protect one hectare of the 36-hectare Dio forest from stray animals and human activities that threaten the natural regeneration of vegetation. Commander Marie Kirgalou Keré emphasized the project's role in ongoing efforts to safeguard and restore village forests.

Cenimavo Dembélé, president of the Village Development Committee, expressed gratitude to regional and national authorities for their support in protecting Dio's forest heritage. Village chief Balahona Dembélé announced plans for reforestation within the fenced area to further conserve the vegetation. The fencing project, costing over 3.3 million CFA francs, was fully funded by the Burkinabe state budget.
