The Western Wildlife Corridor is part of Mole Landscape linking the Mole National Park (MNP) and the Nazinga Game Ranch are undergoing accelerated degradation at the expense of the poor rural population directly depending on natural resources. Major pressures such as agricultural encroachment, illegal logging, poaching, high pastoralism numbers, difference among the population resulting conflicts between the community leaders and illegal mining, combined with communities’ feeling of having the potential to lose their lands for protected areas, the lack of concerted and inclusive territorial management and inadequate staffing and logistics of the authorities in charge, political interference in Natural resource governance, hasten the degradation of these landscapes. As stressed by local stakeholders, there is an urgent need to strengthen the Community Resource Management Areas (CREMAs), providing them with adequate trainings and equipment to patrol and decrease harmful activities and by developing sustainable economic activities such as Eco-tourism to benefit the local communities. ORGIIS is working with the local communities of the area to address these challenges to improve the standards of living and contribution to protection of the corridor through the implementation of a project that combines economic development with biodiversity conservation. The development of economic activities ( shea butter, honey and beeswax and baobab value chains - certified organic and fair trade) backed by improvement in ecosystem services (conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock through tree planting and the preservation of water resources of the Sissili River, eco-tourism) will contribute to the creation of decent jobs, reduction in poverty and inequalities and promote gender equality and ultimately improvement in biodiversity. The project is an integral part of a global programme supported by Noé, ECONOBIO which aims to develop green value chains for the benefit of local populations living on the outskirts of biodiversity-rich areas, with the support of the private sector and civil society. It is based on a holistic approach with three main objectives:
