    The Forestry Commission has declared a ban on hunting or capturing wild animals, which will take effect on August 1, 2021. The ban will remain in effect until Wednesday, December 1, 2021.

    The ban, which is declared annually and known as the “Close Season” is in accordance with the Wildlife Conservation Regulation 197, LI 685.

    The Forestry Commission in a statement said persons found to have defied the ban will be held liable for the offence.

    While it will be illegal throughout the period to hunt, capture or destroy any animal, a special licence can be issued to persons who want to hunt grass-cutter, also known as ‘Akrantie’

    “The annual ban on hunting, capturing and destroying of wild animals otherwise known as “Close Season” begins on 1st August 2021 and ends on 1st December 2021 in conformity with the Wildlife Conservation Regulation 1971, LI 685.”

    “During this period, it shall be illegal for anybody to hunt, capture or destroy any wild animal except the grass cutter (Akrantie), which can be done only under Licence issued by the Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission.”

    The Forestry Commission has declared the Closed Season on an annual basis in order to slow the rapid decline of wildlife in the country’s forest bodies.

    The Forestry Commission believes that the country’s biodiversity is being lost due to encroachment, illegal mining, forest degradation, and unrestricted hunting, among other things.

    It has been observed that the decline of wildlife in the country must be reversed to sustain human livelihood and Ghana’s heritage.
