Planning guidance

  • Protected landscapes and forest corridors are manager-controlled.
  • Settlement-adjacent overnights require local permission and caution.
  • Use designated/legal fallback options where possible.

Planning takeaway: In Togo, plan every overnight as a local permission and compliance check.
