Background
The Bobiri Forest Reserve has played a significant role in education, research and recreation since its establishment in 1939. It is one of the popular forest reserves designated as a butterfly sanctuary in Ghana. The forest, although perceived to be floristically rich, lacks carefully compiled and up-to-date data on flora composition, richness, abundance and diversity. This knowledge gap does not only undermine the effective functioning of the reserve, but also fails to depict modern practices and trends in forest reserve management.
