Summary
The objective of the trip is to determine how a Darwin project could effectively support community-based conservation of sacred groves in Ghana and will be undertaken by Bryan Dickinson of WRL who was a member of GACON from 1989 to 1997.
The visit will involve several activities to:
- gather evidence to support learning from past experience to inform a new project;
- to assess any obvious changes in biodiversity from the baseline wildlife surveys;
- identify key current threats to the groves;
- consult with sacred grove management committees and
- define roles and activities for prospective project partners.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
From scaling successful approaches to strengthening locally led conservation, explore key lessons shared by projects working on the front line of biodiversity action.
