PROBLEM STATEMENT
The increasing depletion of natural resources in Nwodua and Libga and its environs is attributed to annual ritual wildfires, inappropriate farming practices and inappropriate fuel wood harvesting with their attendant destruction ( ... )
tative cover and habitat loss which have resulted in erratic rainfall pattern, drying up of water bodies, destructive storms, loss of indigenous medicinal plants, loss of biodiversity, increasing soil erosion, depletion of soil fertility, low crop yields, poverty, gender inequality, and seasonal out migration. Uncontrolled hunting worsens the depletion of wildlife in the area.

Problem Statement
Over the years this 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, but through ( ... )
stainable 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. Lastly, the activities of chainsaw operators have done great destruction to the once heavily forested range.

rate. The reasons for the land degradation are that about 40% of the supply of charcoal in the Brong Ahafo is obtained from area. Everyday several tons of charcoal from arable lands are transported from the area to Techiman, Sunyani, Kumasi and beyond. Farmers, mostly tenants, daily lose the farmlands to the charcoal dealers who claim they pay revenue to the District Assembly. The mode of

The Problem Statement
The area was a rich riverine forest with high density of trees. It used to harbor most of the wildlife in the area. In recent times the land is degrading at a speedy rate due unsustainable land management practices, ( ... )
res and uncontrolled harvesting of trees for firewood and charcoal production. Farming practice continues to rely because there is no viable alternative livelihood activity where people would engage themselves.
