President John Dramani Mahama has launched the 'Tree for Life' initiative, a bold afforestation and agro-forestry program aimed at restoring Ghana's degraded lands.
Speaking at Nkawie in the Ashanti Region on Friday, March 21, 2025, he reaffirmed his government's commitment to tackling illegal mining and reclaiming lost forest cover.
He revealed that a pilot project had successfully restored 16 hectares of land, with plans to scale up to 500 acres of reclaimed land per year, targeting at least 10,000 hectares in the short term.
Emphasizing Ghana's dedication to environmental sustainability, President Mahama highlighted how the Tree for Life initiative aligns with both national and international commitments.
