The very existence of Pygmy hippopotamus found in the Tano River basin of Ahafo was regarded as a myth by many Ghanaian politicians, policy makers, development partners and other conservationists between 2002 and 2010 when ( ... )
Shepherd Ghana a local NGO in collaboration with staff of Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission at Goaso and with the support of local farmers first made the report on the existence of Hippopotamus in the Tano River.

Pelungu is currently under the Talensi/Nabdam district, one of the districts carved from the Bolgatanga District Assembly (now Bolgatanga Municipality) in August 2004 with Tongo as the district capital. However, with the ( ... )
proposed creation of new districts by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (MLGRD), Pelungu will fall under the Nabdam District with Nagonde as the District capital. The population of Pelungu is currently difficult to establish since it has to be extrapolated from the composite figures that constituted Bolgatanga district of which Talensi/Nabdam (including Pelungu) area was a

smaller villages within the catchment area of the Bontanga Irrigation scheme. There are approximately 100 compounds or farming households, habitating 8-15 persons, in each village in the Bontanga area. The Bontanga Community comparatively, is much larger with 5-7 large villages with an average of 350-400 households. The population estimate is close to 3000.

1.1 PROJECT AREA BACKGROUND
Meyikpor and Sogrunu-Korpe are purely rural communities in Ga West Municipality. Their main occupation is farming. Women act as heads of families due to the fact that they are uneducated ( ... )
mothers and work tirelessly to maintain their families but they continue to be poor with little or no education. The area is undeveloped and hard to reach. Although the communities are not far from Accra, they lack most of the basic amenities such as water, health post, markets, schools, light and roads.

The people of Adaklu-Have have long depended on slash-and-burn agriculture and charcoal production as their livelihood strategies. Alongside these activities, hunting for bush meat as the surest source of protein is a long cherished activity. The ( ... )

Today, the rapidly growing human population and the diminishing resources of fertile land coupled with decrease in soil flora and fauna, present major problems in the area.
Deforestation therefore in the Adaklu-Have area is as a result of indiscriminate bush burning, fuel wood and charcoal production, poor farming

Akropong and Kwasilansa lies within the central region of the Mfantseman District. The traditional area covers a total area of 200,000 ha and has an estimated population of around 10,000. The settlements are rural ( ... )
ing communities. A cursory survey of the primary occupation of the people in the area revealed that 82% of the active labour force was engaged in farming, 0.6% in food processing (gari and oil palm), 6% in trading, 0.4% in hunting and palm wine, and 1% in other occupations2.
The settlements are one of the richest heritages in the Mfantseman District in terms of natural resources, including

In most parts of the Upper West Region, forest cover, which serves as the habitat of wildlife and the source of other wood and non-wood forest products are increasingly lost. Thus, wildlife is depleted, reducing the income generation ( ... )

The increasing depletion of wildlife in Gilan and its environs is attributed to annual ritual wildfires, inappropriate farming practices and inappropriate fuel wood harvesting with their attendant destruction of vegetative cover and habitat loss which have resulted in erratic

As a result, pressure is gradually increasing on the land and its resources. Therefore the time is now to act before the situation gets out of hand.

THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
The main problem confronting the people of Ullo and Konzokalah is land degradation caused mainly by unsustainable land management practices, wildfires and uncontrolled harvesting of trees for firewood and charcoal. Farming ( ... )
ces continue to rely on slash and burn because there are no viable alternative livelihood activities where people would engage themselves. Again, indiscriminate bush burning has become rampant in the traditional area having negative effect on the land productivity. Overgrazing does not allow soils to rejuvenate and regain its lost nutrients to increase crop production but results in decreases

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
Bongo District is about 15kilometers North of Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly. It shares boundaries with Burkina Faso to the north. The district has a population of over 82,000 inhabitants. The entire district is stony with ( ... )
ittle top soils.
The people are subsistent farmers, who are experiencing persistent land degradation, resulting from unsustainable agricultural practice, population pressure, indiscriminate bush-burning, overgrazing and trampling of the already infertile land by animals.
The land degradation has led to declining soil quality, long drought periods, scarcity of water, low crop yields, hunger

They simply took advantage of the policy environment and institutional framework provided by government which gives them confidence of ownership and invested in cocoa production anywhere there is forest. It stands to reason that creating a similar policy and institutional environment in the forest sector will stimulate forest owning communities and forest dependent communities to invest in
