... Lovely view of a herd mother elephants and their babiesđ... this 97,000-hectare wildlife reserve, near to PĂŽ on the Ghanaian border, has become a highlight for many a wildlife-lovers... this reserve protect the largest elephant population in West Africa... the park has also antelope, monkeys, warthogs, crocodiles and plenty of birds, but elephants are the stars of the show... if you are looking for a true in-the-bush experience, this is it... a quite remote place and you definitely feel it... unfortunately now under national management poaching, habitat degradation and poor management are once more huge problems... Thanks a lot Alena! (✿ ♥‿♥)

It was established in 1979 by Canadian brothers who grew up in the country, Robert and Clark Lungren. After years of observing the devastating impact of cyclical drought on domesticated livestock as well as the effects of poor resource management (deforestation, overgrazing, burning, soil fatigue, etc.) Clark believed that the key to saving the African people from famine and its wildlife from extinction was found in resource development. He set out to prove that when human prosperity can be generated through sustainable management of its natural resources, both people and environment win.
In 1989, a year before the project was to be officially turned over to national management, corrupt officials forcibly moved the Lungrens to the capital. They spent the next few years in Ouaga completing the project studies in hopes that the ranch would nevertheless succeed.
