Abstract

Abstract The Community Resources Management Area (CREMA) programme was evaluated in 2016 around the Ankasa Conservation Area of Ghana by comparing the outcome of this study with that of a baseline study in 2008. Data were collected by applying specific techniques to survey mammals, reptiles, habitats and focus groups. The results indicated a reduced average species encounter rate from 10.2/km in 2008 to 3.7/km in 2016; a decreased mammals’ species richness from 25 to 18; a decreased Primates and Artiodactyles encounter but increased mammalian carnivores and reptiles encounters. Mammalian species richness declined through forest conversion and wildlife poaching in the CREMAs. The programme has yet to meet expectations but communities’ interests have already waned through mistrust in the implementation messages, which beguiled their interests. The benefits of CREMA are a long way to go, which should have been declared at the onset because understanding the programme should be the first step towards its successful implementation.

评估加纳安卡萨保护区周围的社区资源管理区（CREMA）方案

摘要2016年，通过将本研究结果与2008年的基线研究结果进行比较，对加纳安卡萨保护区周围的社区资源管理区（CREMA）计划进行了评估。通过应用特定技术调查哺乳动物、爬行动物、栖息地和重点群体来收集数据。结果表明，平均物种相遇率从2008年的10.2/公里下降到2016年的3.7/公里；哺乳动物的物种丰富度从25种减少到18种；灵长类和偶蹄目相遇次数减少，但哺乳动物、食肉动物和爬行动物相遇次数增加。由于CREMA的森林改造和野生动物偷猎，哺乳动物物种丰富度下降。该计划尚未达到预期，但由于对实施信息的不信任，社区的利益已经减弱，这损害了他们的利益。CREMA的好处还有很长的路要走，应该在一开始就宣布，因为了解该计划应该是成功实施的第一步。
