Advocates for Biodiversity Conservation
Sustainable solutions for an ailing world
We are confident about what we do and how we do it”
Advocates for Biodiversity Conservation was conceived in 2015. The idea to formalize the concept was born out of a meeting of nature lovers who wanted to contribute to mitigating environmental degradation without compromising the livelihoods and well-being of humankind.
In November 2018, the initial group sold the idea to a larger group which resulted in the incorporation of ABC and its legal registration with the Registrar General’s Department of Ghana.
ABC has seen tremendous growth in its programs and impact on people, their communities, and the natural resources around them. ABC drives its activities through partnerships and collaborations with other CSOs, local communities, their leaders, the government, and the private sector. This allows the programs of ABC to achieve a more significant impact than if these partners worked independently.
With our feet firmly rooted in the ground and our heads up in the skies we are able to translate ideas and concepts into groundbreaking actions targeted at changing the lives of local people, policies at the national level, and the way businesses operate. Through this approach, ABC is able to share best practices and lessons learned and coordinate activities with partners, collaborators, and donors.

Our Priorities
Working with Communities
Our actions are informed by the needs of the communities we work in. We co-design activities and get the buy-in of stakeholders with the basic understanding that there isn’t a one-fit approach to working with communities.
Working with Businesses
We believe businesses could be a positive force contributing towards local economic development. Based on this, we provide businesses with the right information and tools to help them channel vital resources
Working with Governments
We believe governments work to ensure the right enabling environment is created for businesses to thrive and communities to prosper while protecting our natural resources. We are not aligned to any political party.

We are accountable to you
We want to provide stakeholders, individuals, communities, and governments with the assurance that operate in the interest of the general public, ensuring value for money, justice for disadvantaged people and communities, and strengthening the legitimacy of the wider suite of stakeholder rights, consistent with our rights-based approach to use and access to natural resources.
We recognize the fact that funding is very difficult to come by in recent times.
Therefore, our resources go toward improving people’s lives, the planet, and communities. We communicate with our funders and supporters through our various communication channels available. In accordance with the national laws of Ghana, we produce an annual report and audited financial accounts.
