\"\"As the first Plan\u00e8te Urgence representation in the world, our national delegation in Benin opened its doors in 2004.<\/p>\n

It is now based in Djougou, in the centre west of the country, and is made up of 7 members of staff. At a time when the area of forest in Benin has shrunk by almost 20% between 2005 and 2020, our delegation, led by Daniel Chabi Boni, is working with our local partners, in particular through the deployment of volunteers (more than 800 volunteers have been deployed in Benin since 2006) and is also supporting our volunteering activities in Togo.<\/p>\n

We are currently developing two projects: Plan\u00e8te \u00c9ducation, which raises awareness of the need to protect the environment, and the GAPADOU project, which focuses on the sacred forests of the Bassila region.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Plan\u00e8te Urgence wanted to gain a better understanding of the priorities for intervention in Benin’s forests. The NGO therefore worked with the CIFOR-ICRAF network of researchers to cross-reference all the data on deforestation, climate change and biodiversity with data linked to the precariousness of communities via the CIFOR-ICRAF \u2018Resilient Landscapes\u2019 team. It’s a goldmine for putting our energies to work for living things.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Plan\u00e8te Urgence consolidates projects supported and implemented by local partners. The association’s action responds to the needs and supports the autonomy of its partners. Plan\u00e8te Urgence’s national delegation in Benin identifies the needs of its partners, enabling a relationship based on proximity and trust.<\/p>\n

To be effective, missions are prepared in advance, supervised on site and evaluated on the volunteers’ return. The process of analysing and evaluating the quality and relevance of the missions is carried out in real time, enabling us to capitalise on best practice and take into account areas for improvement if necessary.<\/p>\n

Since 2000, more than 10,000 volunteers have left for all the countries where the association is active. Get involved in capacity building!<\/p>\n
