Such forests are extraordinary places with a wonderful biodiversity, and are devoted to ceremonial and religious practices for local communities. Traditional knowledge, religious customs, taboos, totems, tales and the legends that passed down through generations have ensured these forests&#8217; preservation from human activity.<\/p>\n<p>But now, demographic pressure is increasing the demand for energy, wood and agricultural lands. <strong>As a result, sacred forests are endangered.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To preserve and restore these unique forests, Plan\u00e8te Urgence\u00a0launched the GAPADOU project with VIVIA MIEL, a non-profit organisation committed to making forests\u2019 restoration and local communities\u2019 resilience a priority in Benin. \u00ab\u00a0GAPADOU\u00a0\u00bb means \u00ab\u00a0sacred\u00a0\u00bb in the Anii language.<\/p>\n<p>The project\u2019s goal is to plant 150,000 trees between 2023 and 2024. <strong>But more than that, the project aims to build local communities\u2019 social and economic resilience, while raising awareness on environmental challenges among the youth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-176327 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Foret-sacree-de-Serou-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Foret-sacree-de-Serou-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Foret-sacree-de-Serou-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Foret-sacree-de-Serou-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Foret-sacree-de-Serou-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Foret-sacree-de-Serou-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>What are some of your missions\u00a0as an implementing partner?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every day, we run various actions so we can contribute to sacred forests\u2019 preservation. For example, we restore areas by planting trees and plant species inside the forests. To do so, we need to identify the local species and study them, so we can plant them in degraded areas &#8211; where trees have been cut down for energy wood.<\/p>\n<p>Local species are not only essential for the forests\u2019 health, but are also profitable for people as they create revenue generating activities and are beneficial to children\u2019s health. In fact, the African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) is used \u2013 mostly by women &#8211; to produce mustard: the mustard is both cooked and sold, making the plant an additional income source for vulnerable people. In addition,, the Baobab fruit is very nutrient-rich and is cooked as a nutritional supplement for children.<\/p>\n<p>We also provide local communities with training so they learn reforestation techniques.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Do you have specific goals to achieve?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, of course! We have four main goals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, we focus on running <strong>restoring activities within the forests.<\/strong> Then, we plan to <strong>expand our activities to private properties<\/strong>, so people can benefit from their own lands\u2019 resources without degrading the sacred forests. For these private lands, we intend to give priority to fast growing plants, such as eucalyptus trees or beechwood trees (Gmelina arborea). The goal is to restore 290 hectares with 150,000 plants (sacred forests represent about 109 hectares).<\/li>\n<li>Our second goal is to <strong>build local communities\u2019 social and economic resilience,<\/strong> by implementing <strong>efficient agroforestry systems<\/strong>. We have selected the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) so the farmers can make profit from selling cashew. To build capacity in our community, we also plan to provide 6 beekeepers with 10 hives each, but also with training on the management of hives. We will keep track on their activities, so we know if we can scale up the process.<\/li>\n<li>Another goal we have is to <strong>improve sacred forests\u2019 governance<\/strong>, by providing training on the forests\u2019 management and other technical aspects.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, we want to <strong>raise environmental awareness among the young generation and the general public<\/strong>: to do so, we identified schools where we would go to talk with children, and plan to reach people through the radio and events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, we aim to promote sustainable preservation and management of natural resources that are essential for local communities, while developing sustainable social and economic solutions for vulnerable people. We also want to encourage quality education, a better access to maternal and child healthcare for all, and prevent the spread of water-related diseases among children by ensuring sanitary protocols.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>What is the project\u2019s current and expected impact on the forests and local community?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We can already see a change in the beekeepers\u2019 activities who benefited from the hives, as their revenues increased. And it\u2019s only the beginning of the project\u2019s pilot phase: we are implementing various activities. <strong>This is why we are very optimistic about GAPADOU and expect the project to have a lasting and very positive impact on both the forests and the communities.<\/strong> We will make sure to keep track of the project\u2019s results!<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>How do you work with Plan\u00e8te Urgence?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>First, we\u2019d like to warmly thank Plan\u00e8te Urgence for this amazing partnership!<\/p>\n<p>It all started when we signed a <strong>partnership agreement<\/strong> with them. Everything was very clear from the start: everyone knew their responsibilities and what they were expected to do, and we have developed a <strong>mutual trust relationship<\/strong>. Thanks to two committees made of VIVIA MIEL and Plan\u00e8te Urgence\u2019s representatives, we meet with them monthly to keep track on the project\u2019s progression, define next steps and talk about the project\u2019s challenges. The project is monitored by both Plan\u00e8te Urgence\u2019s delegation in Benin and the Forests\u2019 Department of Plan\u00e8te Urgence in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>We think they are a beautiful team and are willing to make this partnership flourish even more in the future. Thanks to their support, the GAPADOU project makes our communities resilient and our forests restored.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-176329 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0329-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"503\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0329-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0329-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0329-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0329-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0329-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The project\u2019s stakeholders are\u00a0:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Local management committees for sacred forests;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Local tree nurseries in the villages benefiting from the project;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Local beekeepers in the villages;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Local communities surrounding the S\u00e9rou sacred forest;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Local communities surrounding the Igbo-Dogni sacred forest;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Schoolchildren and their teachers from the schools benefiting from the project.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Town councils<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Water, Forestry and Hunting Departments<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>A big thank you to Emmanuel Traore and Ridwane Bio Oure for sharing with us such an interesting project, and for their precious work in implementing the GAPADOU project!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"field_pow7f71e1c68679412c\" class=\"container-fluid px-0 flexible_section block_categorygrid\">\n <div id=\"field_pow7f71e1c68679412c_inner\" class=\"container flexible_section_inner\">\n\n  <div class=\"row flexible_section_title_container\"><div class=\"col-12 flexible_section_title_col\"><h2 class=\"flexible_section_title mb-5 text-left  \">See also<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"container-fluid px-0\" id=\"grid_pow7f71e1c68679412c_outer\">\n<div class=\"container px-0\">\n  <div class=\"row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-3 row-cols-lg-3 flexible_section_content\" id=\"grid_pow7f71e1c68679412c\">\n   <div class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-4 col-lg-4  item mb-3 elem-1\">\n<div class=\"item_content item_actus linkable h-100 item_rouge\" data-dest=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/en\/actualites-en\/erasmus-projects-supporting-social-inclusion-and-ecological-transition-three-groupe-sos-organisations-awarded\/\">\r\n<div class=\"item_content_thumb\">   <div class=\"grid_post_thumbnail mb-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-sos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/christian-lue-M-qfT_t-7PY-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"union europ\u00e9enne -
