2. Important Bird
Areas (IBAs)
Important Birds
Areas (IBAs) are nationally and globally important
areas for birds, which also provide a practical
index of the diversity and condition of the environment
on a site-by site basis. Areas that are important
for birds are also important for the conservation
of other forms of biodiversity. Conserving and
managing IBAs will therefore result in wise use
of some of the most sensitive, fragile and ecologically
rich habitats in the world. Read

(ACFCP) was initiated in 1998 by the Chiefs and

4. Save the Seashore
Birds (Past Project)
The Save the Seashore
Birds Project – Ghana (SSBP-G) was established
with the signing of an agreement between the Ghana
Government, The Royal Society for the protection
of Birds (RSPB) and the International Council for
Preservation (ICBP) in June 1985. The initial aim
of the project was to protect seashore birds, particularly
the roseate tern (Sterna dougallii), a
rare seabird that breeds in Europe and spends the
winter on the Gulf of Guinea coast. The choice of
Ghana as a project site stemmed from the knowledge
that a large number of terns died after being trapped
by children in Ghana’s coastal villages.
