Natural habitats and ecosystems in Ghana need to be protected and
restored to ensure the long-term survival of amphibian and reptile
species and other wildlife species that share these habitats. With
our unique herpetology expertise, we will identify priority areas
for the establishment of community-managed protected areas. We
will leverage our experience in developing and collaborating with
government and communities to establish more community-managed
protected areas in Ghana and implement restoration projects in
degraded but critical areas for amphibians and reptiles.
Many of Ghana’s natural habitats—especially those home to endangered amphibians and reptiles—are under threat from farming, logging, and unsustainable land use. If we don’t act now, we risk losing not only species, but the ecological balance they help sustain.
