Ghana signed and ratified the Convention Biological Diversity during the Earth summit in June 1992 and 1994 respectively. Article 6 of the Convention provides for countries to develop national strategies for the conservation and sustainable use of their biological diversity. In fulfilment of this provision in the Convention, the Ministry of Environment, Science Technology and Innovation (MESTI) in collaboration with relevant stakeholders developed the first National Biodiversity Strategy in 2000 as the principal instrument for implementing the Convention at the national level. A recent review of the status of biodiversity conservation in Ghana concluded the 2000 National Biodiversity Strategy did not adequately respond to the aichi targets of the global strategic plan for biodiversity. The strategy was now out-dated and needed a review to reflect current national efforts in fulfilling the objectives of the Convention. The MESTI therefore constituted a national task force, initiated studies, and conducted stakeholder’s workshops to update and reformulate the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan by aligning the targets and the action plans to the national priorities and stakeholder’s expectations.
