Save Them All: Animal Sanctuaries to Visit
| August 28, 2017
Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary
Hippos are one of the most misunderstood species in the world. In cartoons, they’re huge and are generally depicted as being lazy and happy. In real life, they’re quick to react and can move incredibly fast when they feel threatened. This has led to the decline of the hippo populations of Africa, as humans tend to kill whatever is seen as a threat.
In Ghana, the Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary was established by local leaders to protect their hippos and teach people about the importance of animal protection and conservation.
