The entire project area of the Community Protected Areas (CPAs) mapping project lies within southern Ghana between latitudes 4044’ and 6o 30’N and longitudes 3015’W and ( ... )
™E in the high forest zone. It includes Western, Central, Greater Accra, Volta, and Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions, where culture of environmental protection by way of CPAs is significant in most communities and has been estimated to contain about two thirds of the CPAs in Ghana. It occupies a total area of 115,000 km2 (figure1).
