We have secured permits to conduct a very ambitious study of monitor lizards in Ghana. Many of the animals that are important in the ecology of the monitor lizards are well known in pet trade (e.g. royal python, emperor scorpion, giant millipedes and centipedes, Senegal chamelon, rock python) but very poorly studied in the wild. We hope our project will give researchers and enthusiasts the opportunity to visit the country and make their own contributions to our understanding of the animals and their environment, and enable local students to study the animals towards higher degrees. If you would like to visit Ghana and make your own contributions to our study please get in touch.
