The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has called for an enhanced national dialogue on the sustainable exploitation of Ghana’s minerals, forest and wildlife resources to ensure that the lives of the living and generations yet unborn are not adversely affected by unregulated exploitation.
Warning that the nation risks losing its forest cover, as well as the many beautiful rivers and streams if negative practices such as illegal mining and indiscriminate wood harvesting and burning are not curtailed, Dr Bawumia called for increased collaboration and engagements with stakeholders, especially those directly affected by such activities, to address the looming danger.
