Acknowledgments The assessment was supported by USAID
through the Coastal Resources Center, Ghana, and Forest Trends,
USA. The authors are gratefully indebted to persons, projects, pro-
grammes and institutions contacted during the study. We appreciate
greatly the field assistance and contribution of Nicolas Jengere of
Nature Conservation and Research Center (NCRC) and Felix Nani of
wildlife division for their invaluable field assistance without which the
work could not have been possible. Great thanks are also due Patrick
Sarpong proprietor of Beyin Beach Resort for hospitality and
responding to the interview. John Mason of NCRC, Frank Hicks
(Forest Trends) and Joerg Seifert-Granzin (Forest Trends) provided
initial contacts that led to this work. We also thank Esinam Attipoe
