Caring for Nature, Sustaining Livelihoods
What we do
We work to transform decision-making processes of natural resources so that resource owners obtain fairer benefit from their inheritance. EcoCare Ghana aims to create space through constructive citizen mobilization for the participation of local communities and other stakeholders in decision making processes on natural resources and environment. We work to support and enhance their contributions to those processes and strengthen mechanisms that will ensure that the decisions made are people-centred and reflect the voices of the people.
Our Forests and Development campaign focuses on policy and regulatory reforms which empowers people to realize their full development aspiration. Forests are integral part of the life of rural communities across Ghana, they have spiritual connections to the forests.
Our Forests and Agriculture campaign focuses on two key commodities; cocoa and oil palm, and their potential contribution to forest loss. Agriculture is arguably the highest cause of forest loss in Ghana, and cocoa as the highest exporting commodity is one of the major contributors. Ghana’s average cocoa yield is about 350kg-400kg per ha,
Our Forests and Climate Change campaign focuses on drawing attention to the potential catastrophic outlook of the planet due to the actions and inactions of human beings as it relates to forest loss. Already, freshwater supplies are shrinking, agricultural yields are dropping, the radiation from the sun is unprecedented, and rising ocean levels are at alarming limits ….
Our Forests and Wildlife Conservation campaign seeks to promote community participation in wildlife protection and conservation through Community Resource Management Area (CREMA) concept and other community-based resource management regimes that empower communities to play active roles.
