Celebrate Greater Amanzule Wetland

The Greater Amanzule Wetlands (GAW) covers approximately 50,000 hectares of land stretching from the Ankobra Estuary in the Nzema East and the Ellembelle districts in Ghana, to the Tanoe-Ehy marsh at the Ivory Coast border. The GAW is rich in biodiversity and supports numerous livelihood activities. Over 50 communities comprising more than 7,000 farming and fishing families depend directly on the GAW resources for food, fuel-wood, fish, shell fish and drinking water. Recent flora and fauna surveys conducted by the Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission recorded over 59 plant species with more than 59 percent covering peat swamps and mangrove forests. The faunal surveys identified 40 mammal species, 78 bird species and 17 amphibian and reptile species. The beaches connected to the GAW also present suitable sites for nesting of sea turtles.
