Atewa Forest deserves national park status — Eco-Conscious Citizens

Also, the Public Relations Officer of the Concerned Citizens of Atewa Landscape, Paul Asumaku, reaffirmed the group’s commitment to the campaign, while the National Director of A Rocha Ghana, Dr Seth Appiah Kubi, pledged the organisation’s continued support for efforts to conserve Ghana’s forests.

While acknowledging that the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) had indicated there were no plans to mine bauxite in Atewa within the next 30 years, she said civil society organisations (CSOs) wanted the forest permanently protected through its designation as a national park.

Organised in collaboration with Concerned Citizens of Atewa Landscape and GH Extractive and Environment Report, the campaign seeks to mobilise public support for the conservation of the Atewa Forest Reserve.
