Ghana Wildlife Society Gws, Accra, Ghana, West Africa

The Society is a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit making environmental organization which seeks to conserve wildlife in all its forms to ensure a better environment and improved quality of life for all people.

The GWS was first formed in the early 1970s but functioned for a few years and became dormant.

In 1991, it was revived by the Save the Seashore Birds Project - Ghana (SSPC-G), a project that aimed at protecting sea and shore birds and their coastal wetland habitats in Ghana.

When the SSBP-G ended in June 1994, the Society took over and continued the conservation activities initiated by the project.
