Elephants and other wildlife can be found in small, isolated forest fragments.  As human and economic activity broadens, habitat fragmentation increases, putting animals at risk of extinction. Many communities in forest reserves practice subsistence agriculture and rely on wild animals for meat. Human-wildlife conflict is also on the rise, with few efforts made thus far to resolve it. In order to resolve these issues, Conservation Alliance International was engaged by the Food and Agriculture Organization to enhance the environmental outcomes by connecting forest and wildlife reserves, while also improving local communities’ livelihoods through sustainable land and agricultural practices. Conservation Alliance, based in Ghana and the primary executing partner for both countries, was a consistent and efficient partner for the Ghanaian side of the project. This project was funded by the Global Environment Fund (GEF).
