The local producers are ultimately the caretakers of the shea trees. They make the management decisions about the future of the tree and the ecological integrity of the landscape.
Fair Trade encourages the women to value the Shea trees that grow in their areas. When they know that the fruits from the tree bring in a good income, they will protect the tree from being cut down and used for firewood.
