Summary

The forests of Afram Plains are burning. Beekeepers' livelihoods depend on them. They are fighting to protect them from wildfires and charcoal production. They need skills training, support and allies. We are already training 750 beekeepers and establishing new routes to market for their honey and beeswax. We will enrol a further 1,000 on our training programme, expanding it to include wildfire management and forest restoration. Working with Ghana's Forestry Commission, we aim to mobilise communities to curb illegal logging.
