Abstract Land use and land cover (LULC) change remains a major concern in many countries. To examine how is used for increased actions on forest landscape restoration (FLR) issues, this study analyses LULC changes from 1991 to 2022 predict future patterns the years 2050 Tchamba Prefecture, Togo, using remote sensing Cellular Automata-Markov modelling technique. Results show that dense forests gallery (18.85%), open forest/woodland (20.17%), tree shrub savannah (50.04%) were predominant...
Abstract Forest landscape restoration (FLR) is a promising tool for restoring ecological functionality and improving human well-being in degraded landscapes. The success of FLR efforts depends on the interests, perceptions, actions local communities, extension services, Non-Governmental Organizations, policymakers. While much research focuses direct economic impacts FLR, limited attention has been given to how stakeholder perceptions influence design implementation efforts. Understanding...
One possible solution for regaining ecological functionality and enhancing human well-being in deforested degraded landscapes is Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR). Togo has set a goal to restore 1.4 million hectares of lands by 2030. Despite the national commitment FLR, no significant progress been made drivers that impact FLR adoption remain poorly understood. Thus, it crucial enhance knowledge on influencing facilitate its implementation while also providing recommendations policy...
Sacred groves are important for biodiversity conservation but they face several threats. This study explores the contribution of these forest to Togo Forest Landscape Restoration initiative and REDD+ implementation, based on inventories systematic mapping. The results reveal that has more than 780 sacred which cover 3,627.68 ha. vegetation types by woodlands (1 974.3 ha), dry semi-deciduous forests (882.52 ha) tree savannas (537.82 ha). Many deities vocations were associated with groves;...
In most Sub-Saharan African countries such as Togo, people's heavy dependence on ecosystem services is a major factor in accelerating the degradation of natural resources, which are already suffering result climatic factors. This study was initiated to contribute sustainable and rational management forest resources south-east Mono Biosphere Reserve Togo. It specifically aims identify characterize flora residual ecosystems within reserve through their specific diversity, demographic...
Cropland expansion, driven by increasing population pressure and economic demands, is a major contributor to accelerating deforestation. While most studies have focused on the spatial temporal analysis of landscape changes using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) remote sensing, there has been less emphasis socioeconomic these changes. Understanding dynamics affected areas essential for implementing practical corrective actions. We apply linear programming welfare maximization theory...
