Environmental Conservation Project
The Environmental Conservation Project focuses on preserving natural rainforests, water bodies, and wildlife. We recognize the importance of protecting our environment for future generations
The NGO seeks to achieve this objective by utilizing its 7.5-acre Agricultural Technology Aggregation Centre (ATaC) at Akramang in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. UYAS believe that Agriculture can be used as a vehicle to achieve more than half of the international development goals including Agenda 2063. A section under the youth charter of the Agenda 2063, emphasizes key areas, namely: Education and Skills Development; Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship. These among others are the focal areas of UYAS. We believe that by empowering the youth economically, the world, especially Africa will be a place to live in the near 50 years. We are empowering the youth in Agribusiness by utilizing a one-stop shop centre of technology to transfer knowledge and behaviour change towards the environment.
Our Agriculture Technology Aggregation Centre has been decentralized to consist of a Value Addition Centre, a Livelihood Centre, as well as a Biodiversity Conservation Centre. All these centres have been well organized to provide the youth with the needed training to be independent in the provision of technology to other youth. The centre provides training and partners with numerous organisations to implement projects geared towards promoting youth employment, and conservation. Agroforestry practice is something that UYAS has been promoting among the farmers as well as the youth. Given our quest to contribute towards the achievement of the SDGs, over the years, the organization has been giving out seedlings to farmers and schools and encouraging them to factor greening in their teachings at the basic level.
Our goals for this project include:
- Conserve and protect natural habitats, including rainforests, water bodies, and wildlife reserves.
- Promote sustainable land use practices, such as agroforestry and permaculture.
- Support biodiversity conservation and protect endangered species.
Our target audience for this project includes local communities, farmers, and environmental stakeholders who are interested in promoting sustainable environmental practices.
Activities
- Reforestation and afforestation programs to restore degraded habitats.
- Community outreach and education programs to promote sustainable land use practices.
- Collaboration with local stakeholders to establish protected areas and wildlife reserves.
- Research and monitoring programs to track the impact of conservation efforts.
At the Okaikwei Teddy Sarbah Memorial Foundation, we are guided by a set of core values that reflect our commitment to our mission and vision. These values include:
