The decision to initiate this new project arises from a recognition of the imperative need to address the imminent threats confronting Pterocarpus erinaceus, a species of pronounced socio-economic and ecological significance within the context of Benin. Commonly known as Kosso, this tree species stands as an indispensable resource for rural communities, fulfilling a myriad of functions essential for their sustenance. However, the species faces numerous problems, including habitat degradation, illegal logging practices, and a critical deficit in natural regeneration. These perils are further compounded by the adverse impacts of climate change, exacerbating the precariousness of the species' survival and amplifying existing difficulties. By exploiting the functionalities of species distribution modeling (SDM) tools, we identified regions favorable to the development of the species and began planting initiatives in southern Benin (previous project). However, the main objective is to strengthen the species' presence nationwide, while democratizing its cultivation to enable greater accessibility of these plants and wider use in planting projects.
