Unesco world heritage (Creation of a « bio « garden to provide a better level of life on the site)

Location : Nadoba, Koutammakou. World patrimony of UNESCO Koutammakou, in the region of the Batammariba is 500 kms² and is composed of 4 cantons: Nadoba ( Kounadowou ), Koutougou, Warengo et Agbonté. Nadouba is some 620 kms from Lomé, in the north of Togo. The site was classified as a element in the World Patrimony of UNESCO in 2004. Benin is 4 kms from Nadoba. The Batammariba are farmers and hunters. They live in houses of clay bricks in the foem of a little castle, Tata, based on a special form of architecture. The language spoken by the Batammariba is called Ditammari which, by way of deformation, has become Tamberma. The prinipal belief of the Batammariba is animism. Fetishes, which they adore and are to be found at the entry to the Tatas, are in diverse forms. In accordance with the form, they can represent simultaneously thior ancestors with whom they communicate; the major exploits of hunters; members of the family still alive; the different ceremonies. Between the Batammariba living there is a very deep link with the dead. Effectively each and every living person owes his life to the breath of a dead person who wants him to join him in the life hereafter. We would say a sort of desire for reincarnation. The rites of grief for the dead are associated with a return to life and the secret names of the dead enclose a vital energy. The traditioinal dances are very often associated with the ceremonies.
