Parco nazionale di Kakum

Il parco nazionale di Kakum è uno dei più grandi parchi naturali attrezzati del Ghana. Si trova presso Kakum, a circa 20 km da Cape Coast, nella Regione Centrale. L'area del parco è di oltre 350 km², principalmente coperta da foresta pluviale. La stagione delle piogge è fra maggio e dicembre, e l'umidità media è intorno al 90%. Storia del parco Il Kakum National Park fu costituito nel 1932 come area naturale protetta non aperta al pubblico (veniva tuttavia sfruttata per la raccolta di legname). Nel 1992 il Kakum e la contigua riserva di Assin Attandanso furono unite a formare la Kakum Conservation Area. Nel 1994 il governo decise di aprire il parco al pubblico, e un visitor center fu istituito nel 1997. Fauna e flora Il Kakum ospita circa 40 specie di grandi mammiferi (inclusi facoceri, elefanti, bongo, scoiattoli volanti, leopardi e scimmie), oltre 275 specie di uccelli, e numerosi rettili, anfibi e invertebrati (tra cui circa 250 specie di farfalle). La biodiversità della flora è tale che in alcune zone del parco si possono contare più di 200 diverse specie vegetali per ettaro. Procedendo dalle specie più basse verso quelle più alte si incontrano piante erbacee, arbusti (circa 4 m), e alberi; questi ultimi formano una fitta copertura di fogliame a un'altezza fra i 20 e i 40 m, superata solo da alcuni tronchi antichi di eccezionale altezza (fino a 70 m). Turismo Sebbene i grandi mammiferi siano in genere difficili da incontrare, la grande quantità di specie di uccelli rende il Kakum un vero paradiso del birdwatching. Presso la sede centrale del parco si può acquistare un catalogo delle specie animali registrate presenti nel parco. La principale attrazione è l'Ebony Trail, un percorso lungo circa 350 metri costituito da ponti di corda (sospesi a un'altezza variabile tra i 30 e i 40 metri) dai quali si ha uno splendido e inusuale punto di vista della foresta. Fra i ponti sospesi particolarmente celebre è il Canopy Walk, costruito nel 1995, lungo 350 m e sospeso a 40 m di altezza; dal ponte si dipartono piattaforme di osservazione assicurate al tronco degli alberi più alti. Si può campeggiare presso lo Antikwaa Camp, immerso nel parco, che consente avvistamenti notturni di animali, o pernottare all'Hans Cottage Botel (un complesso su palafitte all'interno di una laguna popolata da coccodrilli). Le escursioni guidate a piedi, organizzate dal visitor center, forniscono informazioni sulle principali specie di alberi del parco, e sul loro ruolo economico, sociale, culturale e medicinale.

Park Narodowy Kakum

Park Narodowy Kakum (ang. Kakum National Park) – park narodowy położony w południowej części Ghany w Regionie Centralnym, charakteryzujący się dziewiczym lasem deszczowym, nietkniętym przez człowieka i tak gęstym, że nie przepuszcza promieni słonecznych. Pierwotnie wyznaczony jako rezerwat leśny w 1931 r., został ustanowiony parkiem narodowym w 1992 r., częściowo z inicjatywy lokalnych społeczności. Znajduje się 35 km na północ od Cape Coast. Flora i fauna Jest naturalnym siedliskiem wielu gatunków zwierząt, w tym zagrożonego słonia leśnego (150–245 osobników). Jest domem dla około 100 gatunków ssaków, w tym rzadkich gatunków, takich jak antylopa bongo, olbrzymia świnia leśna, sześć gatunków dujkerów i lampart. Istnieje również kilka gatunków naczelnych, z których niektóre są popularne, takie jak koczkodan diana i gereza niedźwiedzia (Ursine colobus). Można też spotkać krokodyla krótkopyskiego. Park został sklasyfikowany jako Ważna Ostoja Ptaków przez BirdLife International ze względu na obecność ponad 200 gatunków ptaków. Gatunki roślin obejmują: trichilia prieuriana (meliowate), tabernaemontana africana (toinowate), panda oleosa (pandaceae), carapa procera (meliowate), celtis mildbraedii (wiązowiec), diospyros sanza-minika (hurma), aulacocalyx jasminflora (ixoroideae) i dacryodes klaineana (osoczynowate).

Kakums nationalpark

Kakums nationalpark är en 375 km² stor nationalpark i Central Region, Ghana. Parken instiftades 1960 och ligger 30 km norr om Cape Coast och Elmina nära byn Abrafo. Hela området utgörs av tropisk regnskog. I parken har viltvårdarna speciellt utbildats kring det lokala lövverkets medicinska och kulturella betydelse. Kakums nationalpark har sällsynta djur såsom den hotade Monasurikaten, men också pygméelefanter, afrikansk buffel (underarten S. c. nanus), sibetkatt, en mängd olika fågelarter och över 500 fjärilsarter. Nationalparken har en lång serie hängbroar i höjd med trädtopparna kallad "Canopy Walkway." På 40 meters höjd, kan besökare nå djur och växter från en punkt som annars skulle vara omöjlig att nå. Canopy Walkway passerar över 7 broar och har en längd på 330 meter. Den är säkrad genom en serie nät och vajrar. Canopy Walkway byggdes av två kanadensare från staden Vancouver. En plattforn som kommer låta besökare klättra bland trädtopparna utan att behöva ge sig ut på hängbroarna håller för närvarande på att byggas. Parken ligger 30 km norr om Cape Coast och nås lätt med taxi från stadens centrum och genom organiserade bussturer. Välkomstcentret i parken har en restaurang, en regnskogsstuga, ett picknickområde, ett campingområde och ett viltutbildningscenter.

Nungua Senior High School

The Nungua Senior High School is a second cycle institution found in the township of Nungua. The school was setup to educate young graduates who have finished Junior High School (JHS). The school was built by the government of Ghana. History Nungua Senior High School was conceived to be established as the first secondary school in Nungua in the year 1960 by Nii Quaye Tawiah, popularly known as Quaye Nungua, a prominent entrepreneur and significant son of the town. In that very year, his 15-year-old son, Master Enoch Otu Quaye, who was schooling in Presbyterian Secondary School, Odumase Krobo had to be recalled home and installed as a Chief of Nungua. The demand of this new role required that this young Chief would have to stay at Nungua to readily avail himself of Chieftaincy duties. However, the young lad was consumed by a desire for academic achievement and petitioned to be allowed to continue and complete his Secondary education. His father agreed, but rather than sending him back to Krobo Odumase to continue his schooling, he decided to establish a local Secondary School at Nungua where his son could pursue his academic studies and also be readily available for chieftaincy affairs and duties. Within two years of his resolve, Quaye Nungua had converted into a Secondary School, his multi-unit building complex on his then large residential compound, equipped with its own generator which was the only one in the town then. Thus began the journey of the first secondary school ever to be established in the Nungua Township. References

Kaneshie market

The Kaneshi Markets Limited is a trading Centre in Kaneshie, Accra, Ghana. It was built in the 1970s. The name "Kaneshie" means "under the lamp" referring to its beginnings as a night market. During the 2015 Accra floods, the market was submerged and operations were forced to shut down. Kaneshie Market is located along the main road heading west from Accra. It resembles Makola Market in many ways, with a bustling mix of stalls, shops, and street vendors selling almost anything you can think of. The market also serves as a key transportation point, where "trotros" and regional buses pick up and drop off passengers. That said, if you're visiting a market just for the experience, Makola is easier to reach. Kaneshie also has services and dealers associated with vehicles and transport, as well as more formal fuel stations, supermarkets, pharmacies and other formal shops. Sanitation In 2018, The Kaneshie market was on the verge of collapse due to poor sanitation as a result of improper management of garbage. Mad. Lydia Akor Akwei, the market queen of Kaneshie market also explained that the market had become a dumping site for the surrounding communities because the city authorities had failed to provide those communities with proper garbage disposal systems. Various non-governmental organizations have engaged in comprehensive clean-ups and Fumigation exercises at the Kaneshie Market to fulfill their Corporate Social Responsibility. This initiative was created to by Pan-African Savings and Loans, in partnership with Zoomlion Ghana Limited to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for traders and customers. Disasters The Kaneshie market has been prone to fire outbreaks. The former Mayor of Accra, Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah undertook a rewiring exercise of markets in Accra including the Kaneshie market after a fire out break on the 20th of December 2020 at the Kaneshie Market. The fire which started during the early hours of Sunday 20 December, 2020 destroyed a section of the Kaneshie Central Market. References
Kantamanto Market

Kantamanto Market is a market area situated in the central business district of Accra, in Ghana. The market consists mostly of the typical Akan tribes of Kwahus and Ashantis. It is a well known market in Accra with a specialization in clothing resale. Formation The market was formed in the 90's The site is an important part of the informal economy of the city. At its peak it was the largest used clothes market in West Africa. The site received increasing international attention after sustainable fashion activists and journalists identified the market as one of the main receivers of imported unusable used clothing in the fast fashion industry. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, 40% of the garments that enter the market and are sorted by traders get discarded into landfills. The market and its informal economy play an important role in the city's economy, and COVID-19 restrictions greatly harmed the trade in the city. A December 2020 fire, which some reports suggest were set by real estate developers, decimated the market. Though some vendors tried to return to the site, developers announced in March 2021 that they are building a new shopping center at the site. Market structure There are over 30,000 traders in the market selling all kinds of wares from used clothing to food to car spare parts. Fires Due to the congested nature of the market, whenever there is a fire outbreak the damage is always extensive. With the destruction of goods and structures running into several thousands of cedis. There are no fire hydrants in the market making it almost impossible to refill fire tenders which run out of water during fires. This story is similar to other markets in the country such as Kotokoraba market, Market Circle and the Kejetia market. A fire outbreak occurred in the market on Tuesday, 19 April 2011. Another fire erupted in the market in May 2013. As the market gets increasingly congested, many traders have aired concerns ranging from expansion works to be done; improved fire safety to prevention of ejection. The Or Foundation found that a fire was deliberately set by real estate development firm set fire to part of the market in December 2020. The fire was part of a long series of fires at markets in Accra. And the site had experienced a fire 10 months before. In January 2025, a fire destroyed a significant portion of the market, displacing hundreds of traders. After the fire to the market in January 2025 The Or Foundation donated one million Ghana Cedis to the rebuilding of the Kantamanto market. Redevelopment In March 2021, the real estate developer Golden Coast Developers announced a partnership with Kantamanto Traders Association and the Ministry of Railway as well as the Railway Development. In culture Artist Sel Kofiga documents the cloth trade in the market through upcycling and mixed media art projects. Samuel Oteng organizes a similar upcycling company. The Or Foundation and artist/activist Liz Ricketts organized an anti-fashion waste art project called "Dead White Man's Clothes" to examine the waste created by the textile import trade. References
Marché de Kantamanto

Le marché de Kantamanto, surnommé localement Kanta, est un marché à ciel ouvert de fripes à Accra, plus grand marché de vêtements du Ghana et plus grand marché de la seconde main d'Afrique. Situé au centre du quartier d'affaires, il abrite plus de 30 000 échoppes. Les vêtements de seconde main proviennent principalement de Chine, de Corée-du-Sud, d'Europe (surtout du Royaume-Uni, des Pays-Bas et d'Espagne) et d'Amérique du Nord. Ils sont débarqués dans le port de Tema et acheminés par des grossistes de Kantamanto qui les revendent ensuite à des détaillants. Le marché de Kantamanto est ravagé par un incendie le 1er janvier 2025, entrainant la destruction de stocks de vêtements pour plusieurs millions de cedis. L'incendie serait d'origine électrique mais la piste criminelle n'est pas exclue. Références Portail du Ghana Portail du commerce

Kpong Dam

The Kpong Dam, also known as the Akuse Dam, is a hydroelectric power generating dam on the lower Volta River near Akuse in Ghana. It is owned and operated by Volta River Authority. It was constructed between 1977 and 1982. Its power station has a capacity of 148 megawatts (198,000 hp) with all four units running, though the total nameplate capacity is 160 megawatts (210,000 hp). The project supplements power production from Akosombo Dam, for the melting of aluminium at VALCO in Tema. The project is located about 24 kilometres (15 mi) downstream of Akosombo Dam, and is about 80 kilometres (50 mi) from the city of Accra. Because the reservoir upstream of the dam is relatively small, the plant operates as a "run-of-the-river" project, with river flow controlled at Akosombo. The design head of water at the plant is 11.75 metres (38.5 ft); the low head required the use of unusually large turbines for their power rating, with a Francis runner diameter of 8.2 metres (27 ft). The powerhouse is 148 metres (486 ft) long, 40 metres (130 ft) wide and 64 metres (210 ft). The main dam is made of earth with rockfill facing and is 18 metres (59 ft) high and 240 metres (790 ft) long. Dikes on the banks are 2,100 and 3,500 metres (6,900 and 11,500 ft) long. The spillway has a design capacity of 20,000 cubic metres per second (710,000 cu ft/s) and has 15 radial gates, each 11 metres (36 ft) wide by 13.5 metres (44 ft) high, with a total length of 280 metres (920 ft). The civil contractor for the project was Impregilo of Italy. Other components of the project include a 161 kV switchyard and transmission lines, four villages constructed to house people displaced by the project, and road construction. In addition to power generation, the project provides irrigation water for agriculture, and municipal water supply. Bilharzia is a health hazard in the region which has increased since the construction of the dam. See also List of power stations in Ghana Electricity sector in Ghana References
Barrage de Kpong

Le barrage de Kpong, également connu sous le nom de barrage d'Akuse, est un barrage de production d'énergie hydroélectrique situé sur le cours inférieur de la rivière Volta, près d'Akuse au Ghana. Il est détenu et exploité par la Volta River Authority. Il a été construit entre 1977 et 1982. Sa centrale a une capacité de 148 mégawatts (198 000 hp) avec les quatre unités en fonctionnement, bien que la capacité nominale totale soit de 160 mégawatts (210 000 hp). Le projet complète la production d'électricité du barrage d'Akosombo, pour la fusion de l'aluminium chez VALCO à Tema. Le projet est situé à environ 24 kilomètres (15 mi) en aval du barrage d'Akosombo, et à environ 80 kilomètres (50 mi) de la ville d'Accra. Le réservoir en amont du barrage étant relativement petit, la centrale fonctionne au fil de l'eau, le débit du fleuve étant contrôlé à Akosombo. La hauteur de chute nominale de l'eau à la centrale est de 11,75 mètres (38,5 pieds) ; la faible hauteur de chute a nécessité l'utilisation de turbines inhabituellement grandes pour leur puissance nominale, avec un diamètre de roue Francis de 8,2 mètres (27 pieds). La centrale mesure 148 mètres (486 ft) de long, 40 mètres (130 ft) de large et 64 mètres (210 ft). Le barrage principal est fait de terre avec un parement en enrochement et mesure 18 mètres (59 ft) de haut et 240 mètres (790 ft) de long. Les digues sur les rives sont longues de 2 100 et 3 500 mètres (6 900 et 11 500 pieds). Le déversoir a une capacité nominale de 20 000 mètres cubes par seconde (710 000 pieds cubes/s) et comporte 15 vannes radiales, chacune de 11 mètres (36 pieds) de large sur 13,5 mètres (44 pieds) de haut, avec une longueur totale de 280 mètres (920 pieds). L'entrepreneur civil du projet était Impregilo d'Italie. Les autres composantes du projet comprennent un poste de commutation de 161 kV et des lignes de transmission, quatre villages construits pour loger les personnes déplacées par le projet, et la construction de routes. En plus de la production d'électricité, le projet fournit de l'eau d'irrigation pour l'agriculture et l'approvisionnement en eau des municipalités. La bilharziose est un risque sanitaire dans la région qui a augmenté depuis la construction du barrage.
