Conservation Alliance (CA) which was formerly Conservation International (CI) was first established in 1997. It was reconstituted as Conservation Alliance in 2008 and now works with more than One Million (1,000,000) people living in over 200 communities in the Upper East, Upper West, Northern, Ashanti, Central, Western and Greater Accra Regions of Ghana.

Rocks As long as forests are left undisturbed or are harvested sustainably in an ecologically sound manner, the option for future land uses are left open. As long as forests are left undisturbed or are harvestedsustainably in an ecologically sound manner, the option forfuture land uses are left open. Once forests are damaged and cleared their ecological diversity declines, species are lost and irreversible ecological and environmental changes occur
Conservation Alliance International (CA) has called on the government to promote biodiversity offset initiative as a system to reduce degradation of our forests, water and other natural resources. CA said the current area of intact forest which is estimated between 15,800 sq. km and 17,200 sq. km representing between 10.9 and 11.8% of the original cover indicates that Ghana has lost substantial portion of its rich biological resources to uncontrolled and uncoordinated development activities…..

Agricultural Challenges In Northern Ghana
Agriculture is a major economic activity in Ghana. The Northern regions of the country (together with the Afram and Accra Plains) have been described as the Bread Basket Region (BBR) of Ghana. This is primarily due to the huge agricultural potential of these areas. Unfortunately, many parts of the northern regions face severe weather conditions including periodic flooding and drought. Flooding is particularly severe from August to October, with the peak in September…… Read more.
This report is based on a study commissioned by the Sustainable Tree Crops Program (STCP), which is hosted by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Ghana. The aim of the study is to develop a strategy for forest corridor connectivity in two protected areas (Krokosue Hills Forest Reserve – KHFR and Bia Conservation Area – BCA) of the Western region of Ghana under the European Union funded Cocoa Sector Support Program Phase 2 (EU-CSSP II). The EU-CSSP II pro-gram broadly aims to improve the sustainability of cocoa production and livelihood of smallholder cocoa farmers by contributing to the growth in cocoa farming income in an environmentally and socially responsible manner…….
