We put biodiversity and ecosystems at the heart of Ghana's development β promoting public policy for the sustainable use of natural resources, and the research and data that make sound decisions possible.
CA promotes public policies that enhance the sustainable use of natural resources by individuals, companies and institutions. We partner with government agencies, research institutions, the private sector and communities to change how people use biodiversity.
We participate in policy dialogue and review biodiversity strategies β including Climate Change, Forest and Wildlife policies β making appropriate recommendations. CA is an active member of the National Biodiversity Committee and the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI).
Four connected disciplines that turn knowledge of nature into better policy and practice.
We review biodiversity strategies β Climate Change, Forest and Wildlife policies β and advocate, with the EPA, JAK Foundation and NYCOB, for implementing the Business & Biodiversity Offset Programme (BBOP) in Ghana.
Much of the natural world remains poorly known. Our Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) evaluates a landscape's biodiversity, the health of its ecosystems and the benefits nature provides to people.
One of our most important areas of work: studying the phenomena at the intersection of the social and economic life of rural communities to understand behaviour and stratification.
Acquiring, validating, storing, protecting and processing data β so reliable information is readily available to public and private institutions making policy and law for sustainable development.
The earth's ecosystems comprise millions of species and underpin the wellbeing of every society β yet much of the natural world remains unexplored. Our RAP works to fill that void.
Evaluating the biodiversity present across a landscape.
Assessing how well those ecosystems are functioning.
Measuring the many benefits nature provides to communities.
We work across sectors to change behaviour toward biodiversity β and, with the Environmental Protection Agency, JAK Foundation and NYCOB, to advance the Business & Biodiversity Offset Programme in Ghana.
Agencies shaping national environmental policy and law.
Institutions generating the evidence behind decisions.
Companies aligning operations with biodiversity goals.
The people whose stewardship makes policy real.
Government agencies, researchers and partners work with us to shape biodiversity policy and build the data behind it. Let's collaborate.
