Copy Link
Name (native language): Erarbeitung eines Wirtschaftsplanes für eine nachhaltige Teakholzplantage in Ghana
Coordinating organisation: Institute for World Forestry
Description: Private forest industries in Ghana realised that succes in the sustainable management of forest plantation heavily relies on cooperation with the local population. The trial-plantation area is located 30 miles north of the city of Kumasi in the Ashanti-Region at the interface of the tropical moist semi-deciduous forest and the tropical savannah zones. The vegetation around the area is composed of grassland and some remnants of degraded natural forests. This region in Ghana is also called „transition zone“, because the grassland is gradually replacing natural forests.
