Big week for conservation in Ghana.

As part of their Wildlife Week, the University of Ghana Wildlife Club; _ugwildlifeclub_ paid a visit to our Endangered Primate Breeding Centre at the Accra Zoological Garden — getting up close with the species we work every day to protect, the white-naped mangabey. The Kumasi Zoo also celebrated this event at our Forested Enclosure.

And the timing couldn’t be better: the Forestry Commission has officially declared the start of the closed season, giving wildlife populations room to rest and rebuild.

Forests and wildlife protected. This is what MAD26 is all about. 💚

Through the lens of wildlife photographer and activist mowglifeels , the youth of Cape Three Points Reserve came face to face with a truth many never see up close: the scars galamsey leaves behind.
It showed how this activity does not discriminate against forests and land,protected or not — and neither does the damage.
Alongside the destruction, the white-naped mangabey and other wildlife still call these forests home. This is the reason this fight matters.
Seeing is believing. And once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.
This is why we do this work.

An endangered species should not be a mystery to the people sharing its last forests with it.
Our partners at the University of Ghana Wildlife Club went out and asked. The answers prove exactly why MAD2026 matters — you can’t protect what you don’t know exists.
4 days left. Watch the video. Learn the name. Join the movement.
