About Us

Herp Conservation Ghana was born from a sense of urgency and hope. In the early 2000s, amphibians across Ghana were vanishing, yet no one was watching. Driven by this silence, our founder, Dr Caleb Ofori-Boateng, began his journey to uncover species once thought lost forever. But science alone couldn’t save them. He saw that real conservation had to start with people.

From discovering new frog species to transforming donated lands into a 5,000-acre haven for biodiversity, our journey has always been rooted in community. We have built tree nurseries, empowered volunteers, and turned belief into stewardship through Conservation Evangelism. We opened a canopy walkway that brought thousands of visitors to a place that was once forgotten. 

We believe that conservation must be led by those who share their land with wildlife. Our programs are co-created with communities and grounded in local culture, governance, and knowledge. We use conservation education to shift hearts, minds, and behaviors; support communities in establishing their own protected areas; restore habitats through tree planting and captive breeding; and link conservation to economic opportunity through ecotourism and agroforestry.

With deep roots in the Volta-Togo Highlands and growing influence across Ghana, we are proving that people and nature can thrive together–one frog, one forest, and one community at a time.
