In Ghana, the Centre for African Wetlands (CAW) has been working in two protected areas (Shai Hills Resource Reserve and Songor Lagoon Ramsar site) to collect data on the wetlands’ and forest biodiversity. At the same time, CAW has been training local staff in techniques to carry out these inventories that support long term capacity for conserving and sustainably managing these sites. In 2019-2020, training was carried out in camera trapping techniques, sampling of arthropods and in bird identification.
