Tree Planting projects in Ghana
Tree planting projects in Ghana - 2006
The Ministry of Lands, Forestry and Mines in Ghana has embarked on planting 20,000 hectares of trees annually under President Kuffuor's Special Initiative on Plantation development.
The project is expected to cover 10% of the total land area of Ghana. The initiative is expected to help replenish Ghana's depleting forests, safeguard the environment and help to create more jobs at the same time.
Mr Adjei-Yeboah, the department's deputy minister discussed this in a speech during an international workshop on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in Accra on 2nd October 2006.
He pointed out that many African countries including Ghana had started experiencing climate changes which were impacting adversely on the health and livelihoods of the people.
Furthermore, this is heavily undermining the growth opportunities crucial for alleviating poverty in Ghana and Africa as a whole.
Jobs are still scarce and October seems far hotter than anticipated. Unfortunately, solar technologies do not still seem to be an option to help energy demands for industry in Ghana.
Mr Adjei-Yeboah further added there has been a noticeable increase in droughts in Ghana which has also affected the water levels at the Akosombo Dam. Hence frequent power cuts where most Ghanaians have to have 12 hour power cuts every 3 days to save water. The Akosombo dam continues to be the main source of electrical energy for government, industry and people alike.
He also advocated during this speech that the government is now considering cleaner energy technologies such as solar, wind and bio-energy as an intergral part of Ghana's energy sources.
This will in turn help to reduce greenhouse gases and enable Ghana to be another shining example of progression and development apart from foot-ball/soccer.
Let us hope this turns to action and not just words from the government of Ghana.
