A team from RELAB attended the 31^st Biennial Conference of the Ghana Science Association held at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana from July 29 to August 2, 2019. RELAB made three oral presentations which included an overview of the project objectives and results of the first year. The general project objectives were delivered by the Project Coordinator. Two other presentations were made by two Master’s students working in Work Package (WP) 5, Livelihood and Socioecological Dynamics, based on outcomes from their first-year project activities. Abstracts from the presentations have been published in the conference book of abstracts and are available on the Ghana Science Association website.
