Cattle herding and crime incidence nexus: Case study of the sekyere Afram Plains District, Ghana
Cattle violence: The politics and fantasies of cattle ranching in Ghana
Emerging agro-pastoral policy initiatives aim to mediate farmer–herder conflicts by implementing a ranching policy. The government of Ghana constructed a 272 ha ranch at Wawase. Initially, there was little local opposition, allowing the ranch to be established and to experience a large growth in cattle population. However, the ranch began to experience difficulties. This paper explores why the government’s ranching intervention has not worked, by…
Retooling incentive mechanisms for effective smallholder tree growers' contributions to global landscape restoration
Amid the global tree-planting rush to restore degraded landscapes, this study examined how service providers organise incentives for smallholder forest plantations in rural Ghana. Current incentives push farmers to plant trees without adequate mechanisms for ensuring they benefit over time. This enables timber merchants to exploit many tree growers, discouraging most farmers from participating in restoration activities. While some tree growers in…
Implementation gaps in forest management prescriptions and noncompliance in forest regulations in Ghana: Case study of four forest reserves
Forest recovery on skid trails and felling gaps following post-decadal selective logging in a moist semi-deciduous forest in Ghana
While several studies have been conducted on the impacts of logging on forest recovery in tropical forests, most of these studies have largely focused on short term forest recovery and without perspectives on how different logging intensities could influence the nature and extent of forest recovery in the long term. This study therefore aims to explore how varying site conditions, resulting from the creation of different disturbance types (skid t…
Upper canopy tree crown architecture and its implications for shade in cocoa agroforestry systems in the Western Region of Ghana
Several studies have been conducted on shaded cocoa systems, but few of these have examined species-specific crown architecture of upper canopy trees and its influence on shade provision in cocoa agroforestry systems. In view of the fact that cocoa agroforestry is a recommended practice to drive cocoa production onto a climate-smart pathway, and given the role of upper canopy trees in the moderation of shade and light to the cocoa system, there i…
Influence of management practices on stand biomass, carbon stocks and soil nutrient variability of teak plantations in a dry semi-deciduous forest in Ghana
Many forest plantations in the tropics are not well managed due to lack of resources and sometimes expertise; but if plantations are to fulfill their expected usefulness especially for climate change solutions, then best practices should be used. However, more data is required to demonstrate the gains that can be made in the various end uses of plantation-grown timber and the soils on which they are grown to encourage good practices among growers…
Customary power, farmer strategies and the dynamics of access to protected forestlands for farming: Implications for Ghana's forest bioeconomy
In the last decade, multiple scientists and policymakers have been promoting bioeconomy for decarbonisation and as a way to tackle the ongoing socio-ecological crises. An effective transition to the bioeconomy in developing countries, which are predominantly agrarian,depends partly on its amenability to existing land access regimes and how actors in such countries are able to manage competing claims and needs associated with land use for biomass …
The dynamics of property and other mechanisms of access: The case of charcoal production and trade in Ghana
West African Sahelian cities as source of carbon stocks: Evidence from Niger
The economic importance of charcoal to rural livelihoods: Evidence from a key charcoal-producing area in Ghana
Factors shaping local people's perception of ecosystem services in the Atacora Chain of Mountains, a biodiversity hotspot in northern Benin
This study showed that gender, location, and age predict local people's perception of ecosystem services in the ACM and livelihood orientation is determinant. The omission of regulation and many of the supporting services questions the future of this mountain chain if its exploitation continues without any awareness and conservation measures
The implications of land tenure and ownership regimes on sustainable mangrove management and conservation in two Ramsar sites in Ghana
Farmers’ perspectives on climate change manifestations in smallholder cocoa farms and shifts in cropping systems in the forest-savannah transitional zone of Ghana
Tracing forest resource development in Ghana through forest transition pathways
Fighting Over Forest: Toward a Shared Analysis of Livelihood Conflicts and Conflict Management in Ghana
n\tConflicts undermine forest-based livelihoods for the rural poor. Conflict management is key to preventing such conflicts. This article analyzes actor perceptions of forest- and tree-related conflicts and conflict management in Ghana's high forest zone. It also assesses a phased methodology that promotes shared problem definition and ownership of recommendations on conflict resolution strategies through the presentation and discussion of findin…
