Biodiversity Conservation

In Ghana, biodiversity has suffered drastic declines across different ecosystems including marine and coastal ecosystems, tropical forest ecosystems and the guinea and coastal savannahs. The quest for national development is threatening biodiversity in all fronts. Major agricultural commodities are pushing their frontiers into protected areas and forest reserves in Ghana. Ecological Nest is intervening in partnership with other like-minded institutions through biodiversity assessments, ecological restoration, enhancement of conservation and climate co-benefits, promoting and scaling up locally decentralized management of natural resources through full operationalization of the Community Resource Management Areas (CREMA) concept.
