Ghana
Community resource management and the Mole National Park.
The Mole National Park is the largest and best known of Ghana's national
parks, and it is under considerable threat. Neighbouring communities have high
poverty levels and few sources of income, so the park suffers from hunting and
foraging.
A Rocha Ghana is working with the government's Wildlife Division and
representatives from some of Mole National Park's neighbours to create a
Community Resource Management Area (CREMA), so that wildlife resources may be
sustainably utilised and, with equipment and training, locals can generate
income from natural resources.
