The Forestry Research Institute of Ghana of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-FORIG) has cautioned farmers against the clearing or cutting of tree species in their farms for agricultural production.

It has observed that all the tree species of economic values in the country were being cut down, thus reducing massively carbon storage in the country.

According to the Council, preserving and enhancing carbon storage was crucial for mitigating climate change, maintaining ecosystem health, and ensuring a sustainable future, especially in carbon trading.
