Project Background
The Muni-Pomadze Ramsar site (MPRS) is one of the 5 coastal wetlands and Ramsar sites in Ghana under the management of Ghana Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission. Anthropogenic activities within the Muni-Pomadze ( ... )
site threaten wildlife species and their habitats. The continuous decline in resources has also affected the basic livelihood of communities within the wetland who depend solely or partly on these resources for their livelihood.
Communities within the MPRS have been depleting their natural resources as well as engaging in unwise use of the wetland through degrading activities such as charcoal

Problem definition
Over the years, farm outputs/yields have declined considerable due to increasing poor soil quality on the farmlands. The soils in the area are predominantly of Toje series (Cambisols), Aveime-Zipa series (Luvisols) and Nyigbenya ( ... )
ssociations (Gleysols) which are highly leached, and deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus and have low nutrient reserves. among others. Although these soils are suitable for the cultivation of food crops (cassava, maize, millet, sorghum, tomatoes, pepper, okra, water melons, etc) and cash crops (cashew, mangoes, pineapples and cotton), the low nutrient levels has led to low yields.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Over the years, the Alavanyo, Nkonya and Bowri portion of the range has seen a rapid reduction in its forest cover. The causes of this deforestation are multiple. First, the range has provided fertile farmland for local farmers, ( ... )
rough non-sustainable agricultural practices, such as slash and burn and extensive farm rotation, trees are being cut down and the land is being degraded. Secondly, bush fires- both accidental and intended for hunting- have been a common culprit of deforestation and loss of wildlife and biodiversity.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
Increasing number of women in extreme and abject poverty in the Ga East Municipality and its environs has rendered a vase land marginalized. About eighty percent (80%) of such women are single parents ( ... )
ng from teenage pregnancy or school drop-out. They thus eventually become care takers (bread winners) of the whole family shouldering the entire burden. In their quest to face the ordeal, they tend to over use the only available resource-land to farm or collect firewood and/ or wild fruits for sale to earn a living. This practice does not only destroy the fertile agriculture land, but also leave

Problem Statement
The lands in the Dorimon traditional area are being degraded at an alarming rate. The degradation is caused by unsustainable farming practices, wild fires, felling of trees for use as fuel wood and for making charcoal and ( ... )
azing by cattle. The issue of overgrazing by cattle and more particularly the influx of cattle brought in by Fulani herdsmen from nearby Burkina Faso has also compounded the problem of overgrazing making it difficult for the soils in the area to regenerate so as to regain its lost nutrients. The situation has resulted in flooding and erosion of farm lands during the rainy season, thereby silting
