Protecting Ghana’s Natural World
— Together
Community-led conservation, habitat restoration, and sustainable livelihoods across Ghana’s critical ecosystems.
Earth Care Ghana is a Ghanaian non-governmental organisation dedicated to protecting the nation’s natural ecosystems while strengthening the capacity of local communities to thrive sustainably. Founded by Ghanaian conservation practitioners, the organisation works at the intersection of biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and community development. Through a combination of field-based conservation, environmental education, applied research, and policy engagement, Earth Care Ghana addresses the root causes of environmental degradation—habitat loss, unsustainable land use, and limited access to conservation knowledge. Our work is grounded in science but driven by people, ensuring that conservation solutions are practical, inclusive, and locally owned.
Across Ghana’s forests, farmlands, and ecologically sensitive landscapes, Earth Care Ghana partners with communities, institutions, and stakeholders to restore degraded habitats, promote sustainable livelihoods, and safeguard biodiversity for future generations. We believe long-term environmental protection is only possible when communities are empowered with the skills, knowledge, and economic opportunities needed to manage natural resources responsibly. By integrating conservation with education, innovation, and advocacy, Earth Care Ghana is building resilient ecosystems and communities that can adapt to climate challenges while contributing meaningfully to Ghana’s sustainable development goals.
What We do
Habitat Conservation & Restoration
Earth Care Ghana works to protect and restore critical natural habitats across Ghana through community-led conservation and science-based restoration practices. Our interventions focus on rehabilitating degraded forests, riparian zones, and biodiversity hotspots while strengthening local stewardship of natural resources. By combining reforestation, ecosystem monitoring, and participatory land-use planning, we help communities restore ecological balance, enhance ecosystem services, and safeguard wildlife habitats for long-term environmental resilience.
Community Outreach & Education
We believe lasting conservation begins with informed and empowered communities. Earth Care Ghana delivers targeted environmental education and outreach programs that build awareness, skills, and local leadership in sustainable natural resource management. Through school programs, community workshops, and grassroots engagement, we equip individuals—especially youth and farmers—with practical knowledge to adopt environmentally responsible practices that support livelihoods while protecting ecosystems.
Research, Monitoring & Advocacy
Evidence-based decision-making is central to our work. Earth Care Ghana conducts applied research and participatory monitoring to generate reliable data on environmental conditions, community impacts, and conservation outcomes. We translate research findings into actionable insights and policy recommendations, engaging stakeholders and decision-makers to advocate for sustainable environmental policies and stronger conservation governance at local and national levels.
