ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This study would not have been conceived at all, but for the bounteous and undeserved blessings ofthe Almighty God. Several people co-operated and assisted in getting the work completed. Among others, I am particularly indebted to my supervisors, Professor P.K. Acheampong and Dr. Oheneba Akyeampong, without whose guidance the work would not have assumed this shape; their useful criticisms and suggestions bear testimony to their brilliant scholarship and rich experience, acquired through several years of hard work. They have jointly created in me a lasting impression that learning and research are inseparable challenges that can be pleasurable when appropriately and meaningfully pursued. I acknowledge my gratitude to Professor Awusabo-Asare, my Research Methods lecturer, and Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, whose unique qualities as an academician have been an inunense inspiration to me. I am also grateful to Mr. Augustine Tanle and Mr. Paul Baidoo, both of the Department of Geography and Tourism, who also read through my scripts and corrected observed typographical errors. I am no less indebted to the West Gonja District Assembly and the management of the Mole National Park for their co-operation and tremendous assistance. I also gratefully acknowledge the material and moral support of my relatives and friends in the course ofthe study.
