• Project description
  The North Bandai Bamboo Reforestation Project is a reforestation project that is restoring 2,863 hectares of degraded forest lands within the Ashanti Region of Ghana, West Africa. It is a carbon financed project that integrates the reforestation of 1 million seedlings of sympodial bamboo with remnant standing trees, and areas set aside for biodiversity and conservation. The project area has suffered extreme historical deforestation and represents highly degraded lands that are prone to further loss of remaining tree cover in the absence of the reforestation activity. The project is managed alongside the adjacent Bandai Hills Bamboo Reforestation Project to represent a combined 10,681 hectare unique approach to forest landscape restoration.
