PAPADEV ? a local NGO that is familiar with the local customs and languages of the Bole District, will work in conjunction with Conservation International-Ghana, to carry out hippopotamus and other wildlife conservation to the 20 fringe communities living around the northern borders of the Bui National Park as well as communities living along the Black Volta River in that District. The NGO will use theatre and drama to educate the whole population particularly the youth and school children on the need for conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. The conservation education will be extended to communities living around the Mole National Park as well.
