The Ghana Heritage Conservation Trust (GHCT) has categorically denied a viral TikTok video falsely claiming the collapse of Kakum National Park’s Canopy Walkway, calling it “misleading and detrimental” to Ghana’s tourism and conservation efforts.
The Trust confirmed the walkway remains fully operational, structurally sound, and safe for visitors, with no recorded injuries or incidents.
Immediate technical inspections were conducted following the video’s circulation, reaffirming the infrastructure’s integrity. The GHCT emphasized its strict safety protocols and collaboration with regulatory agencies to uphold international standards.
In a public advisory, the Trust urged citizens to disregard the false content, rely solely on official channels for updates, and avoid sharing unverified claims causing unnecessary alarm. The video has been reported to authorities and social media platforms for removal, with legal action threatened against perpetrators under Ghanaian misinformation laws.
Kakum National Park, co-managed by GHCT, continues to operate normally as a flagship ecotourism destination. The Trust reaffirmed its commitment to preserving Ghana’s natural heritage while ensuring visitor safety.
