• W1040346321 abstract "The case study of the Malshegu practices in forest protection in northern Ghana serves to support policy recommendations for decentralization and local protection of ecosystems. Forest protection is reflected 1) in a strong religious belief that the grove is the home of the local god 2) in the reinforcement of the belief (the Kpalevorgu god fetish) when there is knowledge of degradation of other adjacent sacred groves and 3) in regulations from past centuries for using and protecting the groves. These core elements of effective management are described in terms of operational definitions. The terrain and degradation in Ghana is described. In 1985 20-30% of closed forest remain and several of the 7 forest types are either not included in protected areas or are not well represented. Serious degradation remains outside of protected areas. The Malshegu community has for 300 years protected a 1 hectare sacred grove by restricting human interferences limiting the use of forest products and protecting against natural disasters and other events such as annual bush fires. A site visit in 1989 revealed the profile of the Malshegu sacred grove: its location and ecology land use changes traditional religion and effective environmental protection and history traditional religion and effective environmental protection and practice and limitations and adaptations. The implications are that there are important connections between religious systems and natural resource management. In this case the groves are small in size but large in number. Other communities may have larger tracts or have other gods which protect coastal waters and fishing or animal habitats. The Ghana government understands the importance of these religious practices and has established strategies and laws for promoting cultural traditions that protect the environment: the 1948 National Forestry Policy and revision in 1989-90 the Volta Dam relocation of and libations and sacrifices for sacred fetishes and groves and shrines and the 1988 National Environmental Action Plan. Recommendations are for legal government support for locally managed natural areas and meeting local needs for forest resources which may involve village based training in forest management more efficient means of forest use and environmental training." @default.
