ASUNAFO SOUTH DCE JOINED FORCES TO GROW 3000 TREES UNDER GREEN GHANA PROJECT

The District Chief Executive for Asunafo South, Hon. Aduse Poku Frank, joined the District Forest Service Division, District Assembly Staffs and Kukuom Agric Senior High School Authorities, to launch this year’s Green Ghana Project which will oversee the planting of over 3,000 trees in the District.

The Green Ghana initiative championed by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Forestry Commission is aimed at planting over 20 million trees across the country to preserve and protect the country’s forest cover.

The esteemed District Chief Executive revealed that the Asunafo South District has taken stock of over 3,500 seedlings to be planted in Schools across the District and the District forest reserves as part of measures to restore forest cover in Asunafo South.

United Nations report under the Sustainable Development Goals among other things estimated that by 2050, more than half of the world’s population will live in water-stressed regions.

In view of this, the pre-eminent Aduse Poku Frank cautioned that “If we do not protect water bodies, it will be difficult for us to get water in future. This is part of the reasons why the President has initiated this project”.

He further eulogized the President for the project, which he believes will deal with climate change which is a result of depletion and damage to the forest.
