Kumasi Zoo is leading an effort to breed a rare and endangered monkey species. This initiative is a partnership with non-governmental organizations.
The monkeys are native to southwestern Ghana. Their numbers have dropped because of damage to forests in the area.
Dr. Meyir Zeikah Yiryele, the Zoo Manager, explained the goal. He said the program aims to revive the species.
The zoo is working to ensure these monkeys have a safe place to live and reproduce.
This breeding program is considered important for conservation efforts in Ghana.
The loss of habitat due to deforestation poses a significant threat to many wildlife populations.
