Previous Projects
LENF has been working since 1997 in two key areas of Nigeria: Bayelsa State and Cross River State. Bayelsa State and Cross River State are located in the heart of the Niger River Delta on the southern coast of Nigeria. It is one of the most biodiversity rich areas in Nigeria. The mangrove forest of the Delta is the largest in Africa and the third largest in the world.
The purpose of this LENF project has been to; achieve a diversification of the income base of target communities to alleviate poverty and safeguard ecological life support systems; provide the opportunity for individuals and groups to learn skills for the better management of natural resources; and to result in increased understanding among stakeholders of environment and development issues affecting communities.
The funding for this project has now come to an end, but the project has been successful and has had a positive impact on a number of villages in Bayelsa and Cross River State’s through a variety of innovative activities.
LENF is now seeking ways of replicating and expanding the good practice of this project.
