What is at stake
A tradition worth protecting
Today, this legacy faces pressures on its people, its craft, and the land that makes it possible.
-
Value leaves the community
Bulk buying by foreign companies puts local access to shea nuts under pressure.
-
Women risk being left behind
The women who carry this tradition need opportunities to continue their work.
-
Handcraft is being replaced
Machine processing threatens the traditional skills passed between generations.
-
The soil loses nourishment
Shea nut residue that helps keep the land fertile is being taken away.
-
Shea trees are under threat
Cutting trees for other uses puts the surrounding ecosystem at risk.
