Atewa Range, Mountain range forest reserve in southeastern Ghana.

The Atewa Range extends for 40 kilometers with peaks reaching 800 meters, forming a natural barrier covered in dense evergreen forest vegetation.

The Atewa Forest Reserve, established in 1937, represents a remnant of the Cenozoic peneplain that once covered substantial portions of West Africa.

The forest maintains strong connections with local communities who depend on its resources and three major rivers: Densu, Birim, and Ayensu for water supply.

Visitors can access the reserve through the town of Kibi, where local guides offer walking tours to observe diverse wildlife and plant species.

The reserve houses over 100 endangered species, including the white-necked rockfowl and the recently discovered frog species Conraua sagyimase.
