Learning about Wildlife Conservation
My City My Forest participants had our fourth activity at Accra Zoo and WAPCA’s Endangered Primate Breeding Centre.
Each community visited the Zoo separately, but all of us had a nice time and learning experience. We learned many things about different animals, from Ghana and other countries.

We hanged recycled water bottles with nuts inside in their enclosures and it was really fun to see them working out how to remove the nuts from the bottles.
Finally, we also talked about biodiversity conservation, why we should use the forest resources sustainably, not to hunt endangered species and consum responsibly.

Our primates were also thankful for having many people creating enrichment items for them!

Their tutors hold relevant degrees and focus on step by step practice aligned with standard school requirements. It seems like a sensible option for parents who prefer a steady disciplined approach over trial and error homeschool…
