Governance and Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (Pro2GRN)
Taï and Comoé National Parks are classified as endangered due to illegal land use, poaching and illegal gold mining. Inappropriate agricultural management, competing demands from population groups and insufficient protection threaten both national parks and prevent the economic potential of agricultural value chains from being used for poverty reduction in the parks' riparian zones. Food crops and livestock depend on ecosystem services, biodiversity, and the parks' natural resources. However, they also endanger park resources through inappropriate use. An important approach to protect biodiversity is to manage the parks and strengthen the use of natural resources in their buffer zones.
