Aubregrinia taiensis occurs in Ghana and Cote D’Ivoire. When this project began, very little was known about the species’ distribution, population status or phenology and no conservation actions were in place. Since 2019, FORIG and CSRS have been working collaboratively to build up a better understanding of this species, the causes of threat and its conservation needs.

The Global Tree Seed Bank Programme  is currently being implemented to secure some of the world’s most threatened, rare and useful tree species. Funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation  and coordinated by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RGB, Kew) , the programme aims to collect and conserve seeds of more than 5,000 of the world's tree species of the hardest to reach and rarest tree species on earth and develop world leading techniques for conserving trees on the brink of extinction.

The project is aimed at supporting conservations actions, and ensuring proper coordination between all actors involved in the implementation of the Conservation Action Plan (CAP) for Ghana’s threatened trees. The CAP was a key output of a National-Level Stakeholders Workshop on Threatened Tree Conservation held in Ghana in October, 2022.
