  • The Past
    " I concieve that land belongs to
    a vast family of whom many are
    dead, a few are living and
    countless host are unborn "
    HRM Nana Sir Ofori Atta I
    (1881-1943)
  • The Future
    We owe the future generation a duty to
    protect and preserve Atewa Forest
WHY YOU SHOULD GET INVOLVED

We strongly urge the Government of Ghana to ban every mining activity in the Atewa Forest Reserve, which is the source of clean water to about five million Ghanaians. Mining would provide short term income, but it would forever degrade or destroy ecosystem services such as water for millions of people. We ask the Government to make Atewa a National Park and so benefit present and future generations.

AMAZING WATERFALLS & POOLS

The forest houses some major waterfalls and pools in the country.

POLLINATION

An estimated of one-third of all commercially produced food is the result of insect pollination. The forest therefore provides pollination and bio-control services to local agriculture

CARBON SEQUESTRATION SERVICES

Atewa serves as a terrestrial carbon sink due to the storage of huge amounts of carbon in trees, plant biomas and forest soil.

PREVENTION OF LANDSLIDE

The forest cover is important for erosion control, particularly on the slopes.

LIVELIHOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM

The forest provides a conducive climate for farming and collection of non-timber forest products.

SHELTER

The forest provides shelter for various kinds of wildlife habitats
