Ankasa Conservation Area, Forest and wildlife conservation area in Western Region, Ghana.

Ankasa Conservation Area is a protected forest zone in western Ghana that protects tropical rainforest habitat with flowing rivers and natural waterfalls. The landscape consists of dense canopy, multiple vegetation layers, and water features carved through the forest floor.

The Ankasa Forest Reserve, the southern section, was selectively logged until 1976; the rest of the protected area is now almost intact. The area combines the Nini Suhien National Park in the north with the Ankasa Forest Reserve in the south, about 365 km west of Accra near the Côte d'Ivoire border.

The Ankasa, Nini and Suhien rivers run through the area, and the forest holds over 800 vascular plant species, 639 butterfly species and more than 190 bird species. BirdLife International has designated the reserve and Nini-Suhien National Park an Important Bird Area for their bird populations.

The site offers basic shelter structures, toilet facilities, and fresh water for visitors staying overnight. Speaking with staff on arrival helps you understand trail conditions and where different habitats are located.

The reserve was selectively logged until 1976, while the rest of the protected area remains almost intact. The forest holds over 800 vascular plant species, 639 butterfly species and more than 190 bird species, the greatest biological diversity of any forest in Ghana.
