The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources in col­laboration with the Forestry Commission (FC) will on Friday launch the "Tree for Life Resto­ration initiative" at Nkawie in the Ashanti Region.

It forms part of the ministry's transformational landscape resto­ration efforts to heal and harness the environment.

Areas which have been heavily degraded by illegal mining and other drivers of deforestation will be restored under the project.

This was made known at an awareness creation and sensiti­sation programme by the Acting Chief Executive of FC, Dr Hugh Brown, in a speech read on his be­half, to commemorate the Interna­tional Day of Forest 2025 at Danfa in the Greater Accra Region.
