Шилдэг туршлагын товч тодорхойлолт

A socio – cultural phenomenon which has significance for environmental management are sacred groves.  Sacred groves encourage the development and conservation of vegetation on the landscape and hence serve to promote biodiversity conservation and ecological balance. These groves are protected and maintained through a mechanism of taboos, prohibitions, beliefs and restrictions.  The adoption of enrichment planting of specific tree seedlings required by the community in Yiworgu.  This work involves the establishment of a nursery that produces tree seedlings for the replanting in the sacred grove area. The replanting is intended to join what have become three fragments of the grove back into one area. There is regulated entry into the sacred grove, access to  medicinal plants and other resources within the sacred grove are monitored.  The whole community continues to provide annual labour for the clearance of the fire break around the whole area. A livelihood support programme have been instituted through the provision of  the planned mango plantation, organised with the support of Environmental Protection Agency and the Integrated Tamale Fruit Company (ITFC), a private concern. A live fence had been planted for the mango area, which has been partially cleared.  Individual households also own beehives that have been placed in the sacred grove as a source of income.|

The Yiworgu area experiences a dry season from about October to April, during which temperatures often reach 40°C during the day. At nearby Tamale, March is the hottest month, with a mean temperature of 31.4°C. The rainy season normally lasts from May to September, and total mean annual rainfall for Tamale is 1,033 mm. But the distribution of rain within the season is erratic, and there is substantial variation from year to year.|

Indigenous knowledge and beliefs of environmental management forms an integral part of drylands development activities. Traditional authorities are encouraged by the government institutions to designate more areas as sacred groves especially areas close to their gods.  The traditional authorities mobilize and sensitise the communities on the importance of re-afforestation and provide the necessary land space needed for the project.

To conserve, rehabilitate and extend vegetative cover of trees, grasses and other natural resources. The sacred groves occupied by ancestral spirits are a common feature of the cultural landscape in Ghana. This conservation function is more central to community identity and the roles of chief and tindana (earth priest) are more closely integrated.  It protects their ancestral homes and sustain their indigenous beliefs and cultural systems.|

Технологийн техникийн нөхцөл ба товч тодорхойлолт

Demarcation of an area by traditional authority as Sacred Grove as a result of historical happens that has been artificially protected from human and natural disturbance for preservation for the the good of the community. The protected area the becomes a small refuge for a large variety of fauna and flora and a repository of numerous native species found nowhere else in the community in such large concentrations. It maintains a higher biodiversity than the original open-canopy forest. The grove then becomes an important source of both seeds and seed dispersers vital to traditional shifting cultivation practices, and of herbs for local medicinal, social, and religious purposes. While the grove is too small to be a primary watershed, its presence ensures that the water table remains high in the immediate area.|

The community members described their main goal as the creation of environmental and livelihood benefits for their children through reversal of the resource degradation that was then causing hardship in the community.
From 1993 to 1996 CIPSEG worked in the area, focusing on the degradation of the forested resources of the sacred grove area and encouraged people to protect it, notably by the annual clearing of a fire break. During the CIPSEG period, individually-owned teak plantations were also established. After CIPSEG ended, the local leadership visited EPA repeatedly to ask for more support.
Since 2002, the Northern Savanna Biodiversity Conservation Project (NSBCP) provided funding for further work in the area, which was coordinated by EPA. This work  included the establishment of a nursery that produces seedlings for the replanting of neem and other trees in the sacred grove area. The replanting was intended to join what have become three fragments of the grove back into one area. A total ban was imposed on resource use in the area. Even the chief, who was also a herbalist, now sends people to collect medicinal plants for him from other places further away, and not from the grove. Severe punishments were inflicted on anyone who sets a fire in the area.
The whole community continued to provide annual labour for the clearance of the fire break around the whole area. They also come together to cut poles for the planned mango plantation, which was organised with the support of NSBCP, EPA and the Integrated Tamale Fruit Company (ITFC), a private concern. A live fence was planted for the mango area, which was partially cleared. But the live fence was taking so long to grow that the community has now decided to use a pole fence instead. The idea was that individual households will have management responsibility for, and will be able to market the produce from, separately allocated sections of the community mango plantation. The ITFC has guaranteed a market for the fruit.|
