Highlights
Biodiversity loss, as a global concern, has led to various responses including establishment of national parks modelled under the protectionist lifestyle where the system of governance falls under category II of IUCN classification (McKinnon & Thorsell, 1986)
Abundance and diversity In the Ghana Nungua-Cocotown (GNCT) Community Resources Management Area (CREMA), 253 individual animals comprising 19 species of mammals and four species of reptiles were recorded during the wet season, while 120 individuals comprising 13 species of mammals and five species of reptiles were recorded in the dry season (Table 1)
In the Navrongo Tweakor (NVT) CREMA, 251 individuals of 17 species of mammals and four species of reptiles were recorded in the wet season (Table 2) and 139 individuals of 17 species of mammals and three species of reptiles recorded in the dry season (Table 2)
Summary
Biodiversity loss, as a global concern, has led to various responses including establishment of national parks modelled under the protectionist lifestyle where the system of governance falls under category II of IUCN classification (McKinnon & Thorsell, 1986) This is usually management of natural resources with complete exclusion of people who live next to the protected areas (PAs) (Baresford et al, 2011). Local communities should be recognized to play essential roles in natural resources stewardship; this makes their involvement in conservation strategies necessary (Kreuter & Simmons, 1994; Ostrom, 2000; Dudley, 2008)
