L'équipe SEED Starter Biodiversity Kumasi, Ghana

Oysters are an efficient and sustainable source of food. However, climate change combined with the use of toxic chemicals alter oyster ecosystem opportunities by 70%. This does not only lead to ecological destruction but also decreases job opportunities and income sources in the long run. The enterprises Green Oyster Reserve (GOR) has the goal to promote sustainable conservation, co-restoration and consumption of oyster. GOI consults and engages leaders and youth groups as well as green women corps toward greening oyster ecologies.

Green Oyster Initiative's activities comprise of conservation practices and messages. An eco-pavilion facility serves for immersive scientific and eco-leadership learning. Young people and vulnerable women are involved in canning and exporting fresh oysters to local and global markets as well as processing oyster shells to manufacture environmentally friendly products such as chalks, feeds, ceramics and non-toxic paints. 50 smallholder producers are involved in aquaculture, which will boost production within the next years.
