Last week, Civic Response held an inception workshop to introduce the Enhancing SRA Implementation in Ghana project. The project seeks to train community Social Responsibility Agreement committees, Forestry Commission staff and selected timber companies in Ghana.

As more and more communities call for an increase in the Social Responsibility Agreement (SRA) percentage paid to them;

We ask, is it time to review the SRA percentage?

On this #BiodiversityDay, we celebrate all our community forest monitors who are taking action to protect our forests. And we call on all stakeholders to take action to protect and conserve biodiversity locally for global impact.

@NeymarJNR368 @CivicResponse @KasaInitiative @WiLDAFGhana @CSPOG_Gh @PFAGghana @CeSIS_Ghana @IsodecGhana @ForestWatchGh @WACAM_ghana And who facilitates or enables the Chinese or any other foreigners? Let's first deal with issues we Ghanaians 🇬🇭have created...

@CivicResponse @KasaInitiative @EcoConsciousGH @WiLDAFGhana @CSPOG_Gh @PFAGghana @CeSIS_Ghana @IsodecGhana @ForestWatchGh @WACAM_ghana Well maybe we are just targeting the wrong group. I think we need to start targeting the Chinese companies who are the ones actually committing galamsey. They are the ones who are profiting off of this and therefore will not stop unless we make them.

@JulieKorang @EcoConsciousGH @NeymarJNR368 @KasaInitiative @WiLDAFGhana @CSPOG_Gh @PFAGghana @CeSIS_Ghana @IsodecGhana @ForestWatchGh @WACAM_ghana You are right. It's no longer just the Chinese. Ivorians, Burkinabés and even Malians are all engaged in #galamsey now.

At a recent meeting held in Accra to validate a CSOs' position paper on mining, Civil Society Organisations admitted that current approaches to end illegal mining have not yielded the desired results. It's time to adopt new approaches in the fight against galamsey

Stakeholders met in Accra recently to validate findings of a report by Taylor Crabbe analysing various sectorial policies and laws in mining, forest, agriculture & climate to identify gaps contributing to deforestation. The study concludes that harmonization of laws is critical

L.I.2462 is now revoked! 💚

In October 2025, Ghana's first #FLEGT-licenced #timber arrived in the EU ushering in an era of legal, transparent and #sustainable timber powered by Ghana’s traceability system. This is how the traceability system works and why it matters

Welcome development
A new Legislative Instrument seeking to revoke L.I. 2462 was laid in Parliament last Friday. The controversial L.I. 2462, which allows mining in forest reserves, will effectively be revoked once the new L.I. matures in 21 sitting days

Welcome development!
The Acting Minister of Environment, Science and Technology initiates a legal overhaul of L.I. 2462 and its amended version. This means the Minister wants LI2462 and its amended version revoked!

Historic moment! Ghana begins legal timber export under new EU legal framework. #FLEGT licence is live!

[Civic Response @CivicResponse]

As the Environmental Protection (Mining in Forest Reserves) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 matures today and comes into force, the Media Coalition Against #Galamsey describes the delay by @JDMahama in revoking #LI2462 as a betrayal of citizen trust.

On this International Day of Forests, may we be reminded that we all depend on forests in one way or the other. We should all be concerned about the destruction of our forest reserves in Ghana.
