As part of its strategy to reduce these threats, the West Africa Biodiversity and Climate Change (WA BiCC) project promotes sustainable livelihood interventions in forest communities. These interventions provide an economic incentive to protect the forest, thereby reducing adverse impacts on the landscape. WA BiCC identified beekeeping as one locally appropriate livelihood-focused intervention that can encourage communities to value and protect the forest while also providing an alternative source of income through the sale of honey products. Since early 2019, WA BiCC has supported beekeeping in 23 forest communities around the Grebo-Krahn National Park in partnership with implementing partner, Wild Chimpanzee Foundation.
