The Sunyani Forestry Division in the Bono Region has expressed deep concern over the ongoing degradation of the region's forest reserves, warning that this alarming trend is contributing to a steady decline in the number and health of these vital ecosystems.

Once teeming with rich biodiversity and playing a crucial role in maintaining the region's ecological balance, many of the forest reserves are now under severe threat.

This deterioration is driven by a combination of natural factors such as climatic variations and edaphic (soil-related) challenges and a range of destructive human activities.

The consequences of this environmental decline are far-reaching.
