Climate Change Advisors Ghana (CCAG), a non-governmental organization that promotes climate change mitigation and adaptation policies and activities has donated trail cameras and wellington boots to the Kalakpa Wildlife Resource Reserve. This was to equip the reserve with monitoring and surveillance technology to combat illegal logging, poaching, human-induced wildfire, illegal charcoal production, and other illegal human activities that are destroying the reserve. The equipment were presented to the reserve by the Co-founders of CCAG, Mr. Peter A. Doh, and Mr. Dzifa Ahadzi.
Receiving the items on behalf of the reserve, the Park Manager, Mr. Daniel Amankwa thanked CCAG for the gesture and promised to put the equipment to good use.
In the coming months, CCAG would be starting a project called “The Kalakpa Wildlife Resource Reserve Monitoring and Surveillance Project 2022” aimed at establishing an enabling framework for long-term protection of the Kalakpa Forest Reserve using high-tech forest monitoring and surveillance equipment by collaborating with park managers and the local communities to combat illegal human activities in the reserve. The project will also ensure that reforestation is done in the degraded parts of the reserve.
