Local knowledge on population structure and conservation of Lannea species in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Local people are aware of the factors affecting the habitats of Lannea spp. • Lannea spp. populations have regressed in their habitats. • Women are more likely than men to know the population dynamics of Lannea spp. • Local people adopt strategies to conserve Lannea spp . Fruit trees occupy an important place in the daily life of people in West Africa, but the most valuable species are often overexploited and undergo severe threats. This study fo…
Challenges Associated with formalising Artisanal Small-Scale Mining in Ghana
The illegal artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) activities in Ghana are persistently booming even after governments' several attempts to halt the menace and streamline their modus operandi towards formalisation. This is because the formalisation attempts by the governments of Ghana have been associated with several challenges. Hence, this paper examines the challenges hampering the formalisation of illegal ASM in Ghana and the ways to overcome…
Workers perception of and coping with the health risks of informal electronic waste recycling in Ghana
Electronic waste (e-waste) contains heavy metals, which pose enormous human health risks if not properly handled. Evidence shows that the unsafe and crude practices at recycling sites expose workers to several short – and long-term health risks. Considering that different activities pose different risks, this paper examined the health perceptions and attitudes of workers along the e-waste treatment continuum in two informal recycling sites in Gha…
Diversity and socio-cultural importance of wild food herbs and cyanobacteria in the Lake Chad Basin (Niger)
Background: Wild herbaceous food species are declining throughout the Sahel region, particularly in the south-eastern corner of Niger, where settlements of thousands of refugees from Boko Haram, in addition to the native people, generate high pressure on the herbaceous food species. The objective of this study is to assess the use of wild herbaceous food plants in two departments in the Lake Chad Basin. Methods: Ethnobotanical surveys were conduc…
Informal electronic waste recycling in Ghanaian cities: Environmental risks awareness and attitudes
Overview and Evaluation of Certification Standards for Sustainable Production of Food and Cosmetic Oil from Native West African Trees
A range of seed oils are sourced from West Africa. We present an overview of the certification standards for tree-based oil applied for food and cosmetics and an evaluation of sustainability gains. Certification standards were identified via the International Trade Centre’s listings and internet search, guided by interviews with certification bodies. Eleven certification standards were identified in 15 ecowas countries; five standards are applied…

Perception of Small-Scale Miners on Interventions to Eradicate Illegal Small-Scale Mining in Ghana
The proliferation of illegal mining in Ghana, coupled with its environmental impacts, especially on water bodies has compelled the government to ban all artisanal small-scale mining (ASM) activities in the country. The ban is intended to promote environmental sustainability while the government takes steps to provide sustainable health, and environmental-friendly ASM in Ghana. This paper assesses the perception of registered miners on the current…
Traditional knowledge regarding edible insects in Burkina Faso
BACKGROUND: Insects play an important role as a diet supplement in Burkina Faso, but the preferred insect species vary according to the phytogeographical zone, ethnic groups, and gender. The present study aims at documenting indigenous knowledge on edible insects in Burkina Faso. METHODS: A structured ethno-sociological survey was conducted with 360 informants in nine villages located in two phytogeographical zones of Burkina Faso. Identification…

Préférences ethnobotaniques des espèces ligneuses locales exploitées pour laproduction d’huile végétale dans lecercle de Sikasso, Mali
This study examines the preferences of communities in the Mali-South area in terms of local woody species exploited for the production of oil. The study was conducted using ethnobotanical surveys based on semi-structured interviews in two localities of the circle of Sikasso. The surveyed ethnic groups are the Fulani and Senufo in Ziékorodougou, and Bambara and Fulani in Niankorobougou. The sample totaled 48 informants, including twelve defined by…

Local Perceptions of Food Plants in Eastern Burkina Faso
Ethnobotanical interviews on the use of food plants were conducted with 90 informants from two villages in eastern Burkina Faso. A total of 25 plant species and one type of stock cube were included in a structured questionnaire regarding use, importance, reasons behind use, changes in use, and preferences, followed by a supplementary semi-structured questionnaire about reasons behind use, changes, and preferences. Most species were highly used an…
Use-value and importance of socio-cultural knowledge on Carapa procera trees in the Sudanian zone in Mali
BACKGROUND: Carapa procera is a native oil tree species with multipurpose values traditionally exploited by the local population in Southern Mali. This study focused on the assessment of local knowledge about the use of Carapa procera. METHODS: Semi-structured ethnobotanical questionnaires were conducted among the ethnic groups Senufo, Fulani and Bambara in two localities in the Sudanian zone in Mali. Use values among these ethnic groups and gend…
Local knowledge, pattern and diversity of use of Sclerocarya birrea
Background Growing interest is on food tree species in general, and particularly indigenous fruit tree species in developing countries since they are inherent to most tropical landscapes and serve the dual function of local livelihood support and biodiversity conservation. It is therefore relevant to assess the level of integration of these species in local cultures and the factors affecting them. This study aims at assessing knowledge and uses o…

Food consumption in rural Burkina Faso
Food diaries, kept by 13 households in Burkina Faso throughout one year, showed that rural people on average consumed between 1.8 and 2.9 meals per day typically consisting of a thick porridge, made from pearl millet or red sorghum, and a sauce of leaves mainly Corchorus spp. and Adansonia digitata, calyces from Bombax costatum, or groundnuts. Spices, such as chili, Parkia biglobosa "soumbala" and dried fish were frequently added. Vegetables and …
