Training in snail farming and bee-keeping

In December 2020, People and Wildlife Ghana provided support to the Kalakpa Club for them to train local people in snail farming. Giant African Snails are a low-fat and high-protein local delicacy. In view of the challenging economic conditions facing the communities around the Kalakpa Reserve, the Kalakpa Club's top priority is providing skills that will enable improved incomes which reducing impacts on the reserve.


People and Wildlife Ghana also supported the Kalakpa Club carried out a "Train the Trainer" bee-keeping session in September. This was to enable the further embedding of knowledge of bee-keeping techniques with the local communities, who'd benefited previously by introductory bee-keeping training organised by the club.
