Project Profile

Atebubu and Wiase Forest Landscape Restoration project: 
“A ‘Living Lab’ for Community and Ecological Resilience”
is a ten-year community-led project located in the Bono East region of Central Ghana.

The project is part of a global network of Living Labs for Nature, People and Planet established by the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance (CBA). The CBA was established in 2020 by His Majesty King Charles III (formerly His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales), and aims to accelerate the transition to a circular bioeconomy that is climate neutral, inclusive and prospers in harmony with nature.

AZ Forest aims to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change and contribute positively to communities, local economies, nature and the planet by building ecological and community resilience.”
