HISTORY OF BOABENG-FIEMA MONKEY SANCTUARY. BFMS is an ecotourism site that has its roots based on African Tradition, culture, customs and religion aimed at creating a brotherly environment between man and animal. The African has a strong belief in their gods(deities) until the introduction of Christianity by the Europeans. These Europeans through Christianity caused the African to throw away their unique rich culture and the belief in worshipping their gods(deities). Some Africans however, decided to stick to their traditions, customs and culture. One of such people can be found within the twin villages of Boabeng and Fiema, located in the Nkoranza North District of the Bono Ahafo Region of Ghana. In about 1827, Nana Kwabena Panin, the chief of Sesedom, a suburb of Boabeng was asked by Nana Damoah Kwaku(Chief of Boabeng), to allocate a portion of land to the people of Fiema who had by then migrated from Kokofu in the Ashanti Region all the way to Nkoranza. The allocation of land to the people of Fiema was supported by the Chief of Nkoranza And for security reasons, Nana Kwabena Panin on the instructions of Nana Damoah Kwaku allocated to portion of land very close to Boabeng for the people of Fiema for settlement and farming There was a deity(smaller god) found by Nana Kwabena Amoah of Boabeng, known as Daworo under mysterious circumstances and place before the people of Fiema settled. When the deity(i.e Daworo) was found, it was surrounded by two Mona monkeys("Kwakuo") two Black and white Colobus monkeys("Efuo"). Nana Kwabena Amoah then brought the deity to Boabeng, of which these monkeys also followed suit. An Oracle was consulted to find the relationship between the deity("Daworo") and these mysterious monkeys. The Oracle declared that these monkeys should not be killed or harmed, because they were sacred. And that the monkeys are the children of the deity ("Daworo") and they would bring blessings to the community in future. In 1971, Mr. D.K. Akowuah, a member of the community had this unique sanctuary protected by the staff of the Department of Game and Wildlife, now Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission. In 1975, the Department of Game and Wildlife appointed Mr. D.K. Akowuah in consultation with the chiefs and elders of Boabeng and Fiema, as Officer-In-Charge of the Sanctuary. He worked from 1975 to 1991 and resigned to join Ghana Education Service. The ownership of land as well as the monkeys rests with the chief of Boabeng, all other surrounding villages added to the Sanctuary because they are all occupying parts of Boabeng Stool Lands When any of these monkeys die, either naturally or through accident, they are buried like a human being by the fe**sh priest ("Daworo Bosomfuor"). The dead monkey is wrapped in a white calico, put in a small prepared coffin and buried in the Monkey Cemetery after the pouring of libations. It is believed that, when a troup of Black and white Colobus monkeys make an unusual noise between the hours of 11:00pm and 12 midnight, an elderly person from the twin villages would die. Annual purification ceremonies are performed by the fe**sh priest of "Daworo" to pacify their ancestors and the gods for the protection of the people as well as the monkeys. Boaben-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary is a typical example of how tradition, customs and values can be used in the preservation and conservation wildlife in Ghana. Thank you all for your patience.

"Even though you may want to move forward in
your life, you may have one foot on the brakes.
In order to be free, we must learn how to let
go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse
to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes
to hang onto the past is holding you back from
a new life. What is it you would let go of
today?" — Mary Manin Morrissey
