United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO in partnership with the Korean International Cooperation Agency, KOICA, is sponsoring a three-year project code-named Green Economy in three selected biospheres at a cost of one point-two million Dollars in three sub-Saharan countries.

These are the Bia Biosphere Reserve in the Juabeso and Bia districts of Ghana, Omo biosphere Reserve at Ijebu in the Ogun State of Nigeria and the East Usambara biosphere Reserve in the Muheza district of Tanzania.

Correspondent Nicholas Osei-Wusu reports that, the project, which started last year and will end in 2016, aims to engender a symbiotic relationship among residents of the fringed communities of the selected biosphere Reserves and the fauna in the reserves for the sake of posterity.
