Description
English: This national park is Ghana's first protected area which has received major support for visitor facilities. The visitor centre opened on Earth Day 1997 and the park received the Global Tourism for Tomorrow Award the following year.Tourism numbers have increased over the years: 2,000 in 1992; 27,000 in 1996; over 70,000 tourists in 1999;and it attracted 135,870 visitors during 2009. located in the coastal environs of the Central Region of Ghana,covers an area of 375 square kilometres (145 sq mi). Established in 1931 as a reserve, it was gazetted as a national park only in 1992 after an initial survey of avifauna was conducted. The area is covered with tropical forest.The uniqueness of this park lies in the fact that it was established at the initiative of the local people and not by the State Department of wildlife who are responsible for wildlife preservation in Ghana. It is one of only 3 locations in Africa with a canopy walkway,which is 350 metres (1,150 ft) long and connects seven tree tops which provides access to the forest.
中文:这个国家公园是加纳的第一个保护区,在游客设施方面得到了主要支持。游客中心于 1997 年地球日开放,该公园于次年获得全球明日旅游奖。多年来游客人数不断增加:1992 年为 2,000; 1996 年为 27,000; 1999 年游客超过 70,000 人次;2009 年吸引了 135,870 名游客。位于加纳中部地区的沿海地区,占地面积 375 平方公里(145 平方英里)。它于 1931 年作为保护区建立,仅在 1992 年对鸟类进行初步调查后才在宪报公布为国家公园。该地区覆盖着热带森林。这个公园的独特之处在于它是由当地人民倡议建立的,而不是由负责加纳野生动物保护的国务院野生动物部门建立的。它是非洲仅有的 3 个拥有树冠走道的地点之一,该走道长 350 米(1,150 英尺),连接七棵树顶,可通往森林。
