Herp Ghana strengthens local conservation by building community governance systems that empower people to lead, monitor, and protect amphibians, reptiles, and their habitats.
Herp Conservation Ghana believes that robust, functional community governance systems are paramount to strengthening the communities' capacities and decision-making power towards reducing the threats to amphibians and reptiles. Through the establishment of Resource Management Committees, Community Rangers and a co-developed Conservation Code of Conduct, communities will support the monitoring and protection of species.
