Wildlife officials in the Western Region are calling for help to protect animals. They say that people hunting animals illegally and illegal mining are putting wildlife in danger.
Mr Kwaw Quansah, who manages the Wildlife Division for the Western, Central, and Western North regions, stated that poaching and galamsey activities are major problems. He also mentioned that dumping waste in wildlife areas is harmful.
The Ankasa reserve is one area facing these threats. The Wildlife Division believes that only by working together can these dangers be overcome.
The Forestry Commission is highlighting the urgent need for stakeholders to unite. Their goal is to save the region's precious wildlife from disappearing.
This call for action aims to raise awareness about the environmental damage caused by these activities.
Protecting these animals is important for the balance of nature in the region.
