Over the years, the total tree cover loss in Ghana has resulted in substantial gross emissions of CO2 equivalent, with the highest recorded loss of over 151,000 hectares in 2018. This loss not only impacts the environment but also the livelihoods of local communities and the nation's biodiversity.
The recent fire incident, though isolated, is a stark reminder of the ongoing environmental degradation. It underscores the need for continued vigilance and sustainable practices to protect and restore Ghana's vital tree cover for future generations.
