On a coastal lake in west Ghana, the village of Nzulezu, the only village on stilts in the whole of Ghana, perches above the dark water of Lake Tadane, backed by dense swampland. Built entirely on wooden stilts and platforms carved from raffia palms, the cluster of structures is home to more than 500 people, with two churches, a small guesthouse, a bar and primary school. The village has for centuries been the result of a harmonious coexistense between unspoiled nature and the needs of the village people. Its balance and its future are fragile today as tourism, climate change and pollution is taking its toll.
