Our planet today is losing species of both plant and animals at a very faster rate than the last century with its underlined causes being habitat loss, climate change, overexploitation and prevalence of invasive species among others.  In Ghana, we have lost most of our key species through unregulated human activities including agriculture, logging, hunting, mining, infrastructural development, fuelwood extraction, and other anthropogenic activities.

One of the major concerns of the organization is to contribute significantly to biodiversity conservation in Ghana, especially those marine and freshwater biomes through Field research, Developing and Implementing Key Modern Practical Models and Concepts, Themes and Approaches directly with key stakeholders.

Our climate is fast changing with the global average temperature recording about 15ºC today. The underlined cause of the changing is a result from both human and natural causes. Major human causes include massive emissions of Carbon dioxide, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide through the burning of fossil fuels and agricultural productions and others.

Continuous emissions of these gases is gradually modifying the earth’s atmospheric temperature by causing it to warm more and more each day whiles human expansion and infrastructural development steadily depletes systems like vegetative cover that is very necessary for reducing the rate of climate change and its impacts. In Ghana, the evidence of climate change is early and prolonged droughts, flooding, severe bushfires and changes in the rainfall patterns affecting all life forms.

Our concern in this focal area is to help develop capacities of local communities across Ghana to mitigate the impact of climate change as well as introducing and inspiring them to adopt current resilience strategies. We undertake and promote activities such as tree planting, reduction of plastic pollution through waste management campaigns, energy conservation and promotion of climate-smart agriculture in our local communities.

As an environmental organization, we understand the significant contributions of ecotourism and culture to biodiversity conservation. Ecotourism is known to provide fringing communities with both economic and sociocultural incentives, thus, enhancing livelihoods, promoting and protecting cultural values as well as having little impacts on the natural environment.

We aim to help protect the integrity of biodiversity by promoting responsible tourism and cultural values infringing communities. Supporting and encouraging the development of existing and areas with potentials whiles creating a positive paradigm shift in the minds of the individuals both indigenes and visitors around these areas through unique forms of education.

Wild Fauna Foundation ultimately believes catchment smallholder farmers possess unique and rich skills, competencies and abilities. Strengthening these competencies and and redirecting them to develop a more sustainable  and improved  farming systems will alleviate poverty, increase the standard of living, reduce pressure on delicate resources, create diversity to make farming more resilient to unpredictable climate and enhance conservation of nature.
