Generating cash in rural poor situations is challenging, especially when a main driver is to ensure environmental sustainability.  Both the Association de la Protection de Grands Singes (APGS) and Tropical Forest-Rural Development (TF-RD) have been supporting several communities living around the Dja Biosphere Reserve as part of a joined up strategy for encouraging new, sustainable ways of living for rural communities.  The attractiveness of cocoa farming is well established in the villages, and the project is looking to support increased production.
