Empowering Communities: Mole National Park Beneficiaries Pledge to Protect Wildlife.

In a heartwarming video interview, Alhassan and Bawa, two beneficiaries of a sustainable livelihood intervention of the project, “Living with Wildlife: Improving Livelihoods in the Mole Ecological Landscape” have pledged to abandon hunting practices within the Mole National Park. Their stories serve as a powerful testament to the project’s success in uplifting communities from poverty to conserving wildlife.

The project, funded by the UK Government through the illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund (IWTCF) and being implemented by Nature and Development Foundation and partners aims to empower local communities by providing them with additional income sources as a way to reducing poaching pressure on the wildlife in the Mole National Park.

Alhassan and Bawa’s experiences showcase the positive impact of the project.

With their increased household income, they have found meaningful alternatives to hunting, allowing them to contribute to the conservation of the park’s rich biodiversity.

Their story serves as an inspiration for others, highlighting the potential for communities and wildlife to thrive together.
