ENVIRONMENTAL UPDATE ON GHANA - FREE REPORT

Over the past years Ghana has made little progress in our fight for a batter tomorrow so far as saving and preserving the environment is concerned. This is a collective effort and the government has a bigger role to play in this.

Atewa Forest is a reserve we (activists and enthusiasts) have fought so much over the years to preserve. We have fought the government severally to prevent them from destroying the rain forest. On April 26, 2022 the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources said to Aljazeera, that they are not necessarily going to compromise the integrity of Atewa Forest, but rather exploit it for the ultimate benefit of the Ghanaian people.

This is a joke of the year. How do you preserve an integrity by destroying it? They want to exploit the forest for bauxite which would be used for aluminium production. Ghana deserves better, Ghana ought to be Greener and we will fight to make sure the forest is never exploited.

Just yesterday April 29, 2022 I was going through a news portal and came across another disheartening development. The Vice President of the country cuts sod for the construction of a €1.8million rubber plantation project.

We are jokers in this country Ghana. We have been fighting against the usage of rubber in the country because it is a major cause of pollution around the entire country and the world as a whole and the best the government can do is to invest in the plantation of rubber? May be I am wrong, but Ghana once again deserves better and we ought to keep this country Greener. The government had it very difficult to ban the use plastics only to make an investment in its production a few years later. This radical leaders of ours, need to think about the people, have the people at heart and think of the future before they make investments.

Green Cheers from Ghana
