The Ghana Water Company draws water from the polluted Bonsa River for treatment and distribution to the people of Tarkwa and its environs. It has become muddy and polluted with mercury. You still think you are far away from the effects of galamsey?

Did you know? Ghana's forests cover 34% of the land, but galamsey & human activities are depleting them. Protecting biodiversity is essential for our future! #LetsTalkBiodiversity #SYNDGhana #StopGalamseyNow

In Ghana, our success shows that the European Commission's approach linking trade measures with forestry reforms can work but patience is needed. We all can prosper if similar patience is granted to Cameroon, Liberia and other forest-rich-nations. theafricareport.com/370394/opinion…

Today is the #InternationalDayofForests . The theme for this year is forests and foods. Forests play vital roles in food security, nutrition and livelihoods. You may not live near the forest but your food and water probably comes from there. Care about forests.
