3. Project Objectives, Results/Outputs, and Activities
3.1 .1 To help conserve the core zones on the Weto Range in the Kpale-Etordome section for animal life for ecotourism
3.1.2 To assist farmers estimated at 150 to establish small-holder mixed plantations up to about 70 hectares
3.1.3 To establish a livestock?s centre for income generation to support biodiversity conservation activities and social services.
3.1.4 To establish beekeeping as a conservation tool and income generation to support biodiversity conservation.
Project results:
3.2 .1 Two hundred (200ha) of the core zone of the Etordome-Kpale section of Weto range conserved for the return of wildlife.
3.2.2. One hundred and fifty farmers assisted to establish mix plantation and practice trees on farm concept.
3.2.3. One livestock centre established with five animals.

Activity 2. Undertake enrichment planting of degraded areas.
Activity 3. Form community protection team (forest guard and fire volunteer group of 10 members).
Output 2: 150 farmers assisted to establish smallholder mixed stand forest plantation up 70ha.
Activity 1. 30,000-capacity seedlings nursery
Activity 2. Identify individual farms, provide extension service and distribute seedlings Appropriate.
Output 3: Establish one livestock Centre to generate income to support village savings scheme and biodiversity management.
