Mining in the Moulili area, a stream of the Ogooue mining site, has been affected by the collapse of river banks and pollution due to Manganese. In order to restore this watercourse and stabilize its banks, a strategy could be introduced by involving the use of biological processes such as phytoremediation techniques. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with heavy metals can be divided into four major groups: phytostabilisation, phytoextraction, phytotransformation or phytofiltration. This strategy can be based on the use of Alchornea cordifolia, a local plant which is tolerant to manganese, therefore, having good capacities for the extraction and accumulation of this trace metallic element.
