MONKEY SANCTUARIES

One of the well-known tourism destinations is the Boabeng Fiema monkey sanctuary, which is situated in the Bono East Region's Nkoranza North District. The guest house at the sanctuary is tastefully furnished for their convenience.
The Boabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary is a well-known illustration of traditional forest conservation. Home to two different species of monkeys that are revered as sacred, these primates happily coexist with people, eat, and share their peace of mind.
Around 1827, Nana Damoah Kwaku, chief of Boabeng, asked Nana Kwabena Panin, chief of Sesedom, a neighborhood of Boabeng, to give the Fiema people, who had migrated from Kokofu in Ashanti and traveled all the way to Nkoranza, a piece of land.
At that time, Nana Nkoranza Manhene requested his son, Nana Damoah Kwaku, the Chief of Boabeng, to grant the Fiema people a settlement location. On Nana Damoah Kwaku's orders, Nana Kwabena Panin gave the people of Fiema a part of the land close to Boabeng for settlement and farming for security reasons.
Before the Fiema people settled, Nana Kwabena Amoah of Boabeng discovered the Fetish Daworo in an enigmatic setting.
Two Mona monkeys, "KWAKUO," and Black and White Colobus monkeys, "EFOO," encircled the Fetish DAWORO. The four monkeys and Nana Kwabena Amoah introduced the Fetish Daworo to the Village of Boabeng.
About the connection between the fetish Daworo and the enigmatic monkeys, an oracle was contacted. The primates, according to the Oracle, are the offspring of the fetish Daworo. The oracle also stated that since monkeys were considered sacred, it was forbidden to harm or murder them.
