Amidst these environmental concerns, Ghana also recorded a fire incident in the Savannah Region on December 23, 2024. This incident, while isolated, adds to the ongoing disturbances affecting the country's natural resources. The cumulative effect of these environmental issues poses a threat to the country's biodiversity, climate, and the well-being of its inhabitants.
The net change in tree cover reflects the gravity of the situation, with a net loss of over 572,797 hectares when accounting for tree cover gains and disturbances. These figures underscore the need for a broader discussion on sustainable land management practices and the protection of Ghana's remaining tree cover to mitigate further environmental degradation.
