Ghana"s rainforest has been the subject of much research. Unfortunately the impact of research on the status of the forest is not apparent. Much of the research information has remained in reports and scientific journals which are hardly accessible even to the average forest manager, let alone the rural communities. It is therefore not surprising that over the last century, the country has lost over 75 % of its high forest resources; the rate of forest degradation has been very high, especially over the last decade. There have been attempts at biodiversity conservation, but still much biodiversity is being lost each year. This paper is based on experiences from a project which targeted crucial, but often ignored, stakeholders in forest conservation. It sought to bridge the gap between science and society for the purposes of improving on people"s attitudes and contribution to forest conservation and management. The first aspect of the paper discusses ways of repackaging scientific information, forest policy and legislation for the benefit of the wider society. The second aspect deals with strategies for reaching the forest fringe communities and rural school children in particular and the general populace at large with the repackaged information. The final part of the paper looks at the feedback received or observed from monitoring visits to the target areas, two months after the project.
