Nature-based soluitons through reforestation and agroforestry in Ghana
This project aims to restore 25,000 hectares in two degraded forest reserves in Ghana’s Bono region through commercial plantations, Assisted Natural Regeneration, and planting indigenous trees. The goal is to improve livelihoods, land productivity, and biodiversity protection by engaging all stakeholders. The project seeks FSC certification for sustainable forest management, creating a second income stream from timber sales. Restoring these reserves will enhance climate resilience by restoring soil cover and local micro-climates, preserving biodiversity, and supporting recolonization by local flora and fauna. This sustainable model will provide employment, share benefits with communities, and improve infrastructure, ensuring the project’s success.
