Plants and animals are mainly those common to tropical regions, but because of the effect human intrusion has had on the country, Ghana has fewer large and wild mammals than in other parts of Africa. Most of the forest is in the south and in a strip along the border with Togo. Except for coastal scrub and grassland, the rest of Ghana is savanna.====== Clearing destroyed a big part of the natural vegetation, but some tree species still spread in the south: the African mahogany, cedar or giant cotton plant. The shrubby savannah covers two-thirds of the country. For a country where people used to practise large scale hunting, various species have still survived here : hyenas, leopards, makis, rhinoceroses, african buffaloes, bayads, the ghana mole rat, pythons, red river hogs, elephants, warthogs, antelopes and monkeys. The Mole National Park is the best maintained natural reserve in Ghana. You can visit it by foot or by four-wheel drive, but in all cases, be accompanied by a guide. The current animals are antelopes, warthogs, buffaloes, monkeys, and more scarcely, lions and elephants, that have been introduced to the region.

One of the many exciting things that one experiences in travel is the difference in nature that he encounters. In Ghana, there is a huge variety of birds, insects, goats, sheep, bats, monkeys, goats, and goats. Ghana has a rich stock of biological diversity as it lies within the three main bio-geographical zones, namely: the south western portion within the Guineo-Congolian, the middle belt within the Guineo-Congolian/Sudanian transition zone, while the northern-tip of the country falls within the Sudanian zone. Despite the lack of information on the full coverage of the biological resources of the country in such areas as the marine and other aquatic ecosystem, so far about 2,974 indigenous plant species, 504 fishes, 728 birds, 225 mammals, 221 species of amphibians and reptiles have been recorded. Three species of frogs, 1 lizard, and 23 species of butterflies have been reported to be endemic.

The animals found in Ghana have been grouped as follows:


 * Mammals and primates
 * Reptiles and Amphibians
 * Aquatic and Marine
 * Wetland birds
 * Forest Zone Birds
 * Savanna Zone Birds
 * Insects and Spiders

=== Conservation of biological diversity in Ghana is done either as //in-situ// or //ex-situ// conservation. A number of national parks have been established, and these serve as research and study sites and also as foreign exchange earners for the country. Among these National Parks are:

===
 * Mole.
 * Digya.
 * Ankassa.
 * Bia.
 * Kakum.
 * Bui
 * Kyabobo, and Nini-Suhien.
