Forest conservation has recently become a global necessity, capturing considerable attention from scholars and policymakers. However, rampant deforestation remains a significant catalyst for the recent exacerbated climatic repercussions in forest regions. This study examined the perspectives regarding forest conservation and assessed their relationship with household income conditions in Ghana. Primary data were gleaned from two hundred fifty households within five communities around Ghana's Tain (II) forest reserve using a participatory rural assessment approach and interviews with structured questionnaires. The survey considered (i) socio-demographic drivers, (ii) basic family information, and (iii) forest conservation characteristics as hypothetical incentives to promote forest conservation and poverty alleviation. The findings revealed varied perspectives on conservational attitudes in the forest fringe communities. Marital status, education, employment, home size, and other factors influenced opinions in forest conversations. The study suggested the need for tailored ecological compensation and agroforestry practices to reduce deforestation in the Tain (II) Forest reserve area.

保护或毁林:加纳泰恩(II)森林保护区可持续发展的家庭对森林资源的态度分析

森林保护最近已成为全球的必需品,引起了学者和政策制定者的极大关注。然而,猖獗的森林砍伐仍然是最近森林地区气候影响加剧的重要催化剂。本研究探讨了有关森林保护的观点,并评估了它们与加纳家庭收入状况的关系。主要数据是通过参与式农村评估方法和结构化问卷访谈从加纳 Tain (II) 森林保护区周围五个社区的 250 个家庭收集的。该调查将(i)社会人口驱动因素、(ii)家庭基本信息和(iii)森林保护特征视为促进森林保护和扶贫的假设激励因素。研究结果揭示了对森林边缘社区保护态度的不同观点。婚姻状况、教育、就业、房屋面积和其他因素影响了森林对话中的观点。该研究表明,需要采取量身定制的生态补偿和农林业做法,以减少泰恩(II)森林保护区的森林砍伐。
