Assessment of revenue loss from illegal logging in Ghana’s informal timber sector
This study estimated stumpage, Social Responsibility Agreement (SRA) and carbon revenue loss from Ghana’s informal timber sector. Secondary data on confiscated timber were collected from 13 District Forest offices from 2020 to 2022. The timber species volumes were computed with their corresponding stumpage, SRA, and potential carbon revenue. The results indicate that US$ 14,670.73 was lost as stumpage revenue between 2020 and 2022 in the study Fo…
Community-based forest monitoring for Redd+ MRV in the Ankasa Conservation Area, Ghana
A community-based monitoring (CBM) approach creates a working relationship between scientists, resource managers and local communities to address natural resource problems. This study analyses CBM data from Ankasa Conservation Area (ACA), Ghana, and assesses how such a CBM model fits into the national Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system for REDD+. Satellite imagery was used to generate land cover change maps for the different lan…
Analysis of charcoal production with recent developments in Sub-Sahara Africa
The paper reviews the state of charcoal production in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 65% of the world’s charcoal is produced. Charcoal production is dominated by smallholders who use wood from unsustainable sources and inefficient carbonization techniques, leading to ecosystem degradation. Meanwhile, the demand for charcoal is rising in the region, leading to attempts by governments to formalize the sector; including enabling investments from large-sc…
Floristic composition of agroforestry parklands in the semi-arid zone of Ghana
In order to understand the dynamics of regeneration, growth, population and possible upscale for the benefit of agroforestry parkland trees in the semi-arid areas of Ghana, a study was conducted to determine the population density, diversity, relative dominance, importance value indices (IVI) and use categories of parkland tree species in the Sudan and Guinea Savannah vegetation zones of Ghana, with special reference to F. albida. Tree inventorie…
