Welcome to the Rights of Nature-Ghana Movement (RoNAG)
At RoNAG, we are dedicated to defending the rights of nature in Ghana. Our mission is to advocate for the recognition of natural entities—such as rivers, mountains, parks, and wildlife—as living beings with inherent rights to exist, thrive, and regenerate. Through advocacy, research, and legal action, we strive to protect Ghana’s natural heritage from exploitation and injustice.
Why Rights of Nature?
Nature is not just a resource; it is a living entity that sustains us all. By recognizing the rights of nature, we can ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for both people and the planet. Our work is rooted in indigenous knowledge, cultural values, and local communities, ensuring that our efforts are both impactful and inclusive.

What we do

Advocacy & Awareness

We lead public campaigns and workshops to educate communities about the rights of nature. Through media, art, and indigenous knowledge, we inspire action to protect Ghana’s natural heritage.

Research & Legal Action

We study local laws, cultural values, and environmental challenges to inform our work. We also strengthen legal frameworks and take legal action to defend nature’s rights in Ghana.

Community Empowerment

We work with local communities to ensure their voices are heard in environmental decisions. By partnering with grassroots groups, we build a collective movement for nature’s rights.

CCE Using Indigenous Knowledge Systems

Undertake Complementary Climate Education (CCE) that pivots on indigenous knowledge and advocates for nature's rights among educators and children and young people (CaYP) in educational institutions in Ghana.
