Ghana is honored with a considerable measure of things yet little is thought about vegetation since we, for the most part, are concerned with minerals.

There are some particular species here in Ghana that is one of a kind and uncommon and unfortunately endangered because little attention is given to them. Below are a list of some of the endangered species in Ghana

1. Conraua Derooi

This is a rare type of frog that can only be found in Atewa Range in the Akyem Abuakwa Region of Ghana. The presence of this rare type of frog shows that it is the last of its kind in the World.

2. Mylothris atewa

The Mylothris Atewa is a type of butterfly that is found nowhere else in the world except Ghana at the Atewa Range near Kibi.

3. Spider tick

They are considered quite rare, with only 57 other species known from this group throughout the World and Ghana happens to be one of the places you can find this rare kind of spider tick.
