Problem Identification
Due to the rapid expansion of agricultural activities in the past 30 years, the contradiction between economic development and the loss of ecosystem services has become an issue of increasing concern in the area. Watershed ( ... )
parian vegetation along the banks of the Afram River have been degraded through land use practices which have negatively affected water supply and water quality. The last two decades have seen years of significant decline in stream flow of these rivers affecting the domestic water supply of many cities and towns drawing water from these river sources (Barlertey, 2014). Water pollution from the

Problem and rationale
The Bandai GSBA is a rapidly degrading environment, and will almost certainly have a more significant impact on the climate of its environs than in situations where the forest and the surroundings are more similar. A ( ... )
icant portion of the reserve’s vegetation is burnt although patches exist and it is the home of one of the rare and endemic black star species in Ghana that is Talbotiella gentii which is confined to the driest hilly and rocky forest types. Threats and challenges to maintenance the reserve’s ecological integrity include annual ravages of wildfires, farming activities, illegal chainsaw

Problem Identification
The Weto range is a biodiversity hot-spot of global importance which is currently being overlooked in Ghana . The range is highly heterogeneous in agricultural biodiversity and food systems where different tree ( ... )
s are left on farms. The conflict between biodiversity conservation and improving livelihoods of local communities is a major challenge to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. It is therefore difficult working out practical solutions to end extreme poverty and hunger, and ensure environmental sustainability among local communities with the Weto Range.

Fishmongers in Otuam are prone to receive the greatest exposure to the smoke. This exposure invariably leads to higher risks for the women and their children. Information gathered also revealed that the fishmongers buy fire wood from land owners in ( ... )
t exorbitant prices for use in their fish smoking business thus drastically reducing their profit margin. Consequently, there is a fast rate of forest depletion in the area. In some of the forest areas in Otuam, the soil has been seriously degraded. There is therefore the need to help re-establish the forests for environmental sustenance. Other contributing factors include overharvesting of
