The many rivers and marshlands in Ghana are not only beautiful but also part of the essential habitat for our wildlife heritage. These marshlands are especially beautiful, and relatively untouched due to their inaccessibility. Sadly, all too often the natural resources of nations are destroyed by their very accessibility, resulting in increased human activity, coupled with poor waste management and lack of respect for the heritage we are entrusted with... This is the only Ghana we have, and we must look after it, for it does not belong to us, it belongs to our children's children's children... Photo Courtesy of Patricia Mawuli Nyekodzi.
