Nature Conservation Research Centre (NCRC) is a Ghanaian non-profit, private voluntary organisation implementing conservation initiatives to promote a greater awareness and protection of the natural, historic and cultural diversity of Ghana and ultimately the West African sub-region.

NCRC endorses a core philosophy that conservation in Ghana must be pursued in settings where there are cultural and economic incentives for its implementation. Conservation in Ghana should emerge from local cultural belief systems, and must have tangible economicreturns for humans living in the area. Without culture and economics as core elements, we believe conservation efforts will not succeed in this country. In line with this core philosophy, NCRC seeks to use positive cultural practices and income-generation potential to advance our goals and objectives.
