This study proposes a method for assessing anthropogenic disturbance in the Owabi wetland sanctuary in Ghana using Odonata. Uniqueness of a species to specific land use (LU) class and its tolerance to environmental conditions served as the criteria for the monitoring. Twenty-nine species were identified from the families Aeshnidae, Libellulidae, Chlorocyphidae, Calopterygidae and Coenagrionidae. A Kruskal-Wallis’s test suggest significant difference in species richness across the anthropogenic disturbance regimes.  Pantala flavescens  (Fabricius, 1798) was identified as an indicator of high anthropogenic disturbance;  Orthetrum abbotti  Calvert,  1892  and  Africallagma vaginale  (Sjöstedt, 1917) were indicators of moderate anthropogenic disturbance; and  Gynacantha bullata  Karsch, 1891,  Tramea limbata  (Desjardins, 1832),  Olpogastra lugubris  Karsch, 1895,  Neodythemis klingi  (Karsch, 1890),  Brachythemis leucosticta  (Burmeister, 1839),  Chlorocypha curta  (Hagen in Sélys, 1853),  Chlorocypha luminosa  (Karsch, 1893),  Chlorocypha radix  Longfield, 1959 and  Agriocnemis  sp. were identified as indicators of low anthropogenic disturbance.
