Abstract	This work is a contribution to the survey of the biodiversity and the abundance of the termites in the Yoko Forestry Reserve in Kisangani. To the total 6 exits have been done during 3 months; from March 2013 to May 2013. The harvests of the specimens took place in three habitats namely, the primary forest, the secondary forest and the fallow. We used the standardized method proposed by Jones and Eggleton (2000), that consists to delimit a transect line of 100 m long and 2 m large in a given habitat. In total 497 specimens of termites have been harvested. They belong to one family, the Termitidae, four subfamilies, namely Termitinae, Macrotermitinae, Amitermitinae, Nasutitermitinae and 24 species. In order to compare biodiversity, we have used the Ramade method (1984) where we calculated the indications of biodiversity: Index of Shannon Wienner (H'), Index of equitability (E) and Index of Simpson (D). From the comparison of the data for the three microhabitats, it appears that the primary forest is the most diversified and the distribution of the termite fauna is not equitable in the three micro-habitats. Among the species, Unguitermes acutifrons and Basidentitermes maleaensis were collected and are quoted for the first time in the region of Kisangani. Concerning the distribution of the species in the Yoko Forestry Reserve, 19 species are hosted in primary forest, 15 species in secondary forest and 13 species in fallow.
