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?

#BiodiversityDay is a moment to reflect on the importance of biodiversity to sustaining life on Earth.
In Ghana and across Africa, the loss of endemic flora and fauna is happening at an alarming rate, threatening the ecosystem services that many communities depend on.

@ForestWatchGh Headwater forests are water infrastructure. Damage in Atewa will move downstream as sediment and contamination through entire river systems. Once catchments are destroyed, recovery takes decades.

Galamsey in the Atewa Forest Reserve is destroying one of Ghana's upland evergreen forests holding the starting point of Rivers; Ayensu, Densu and Birim and over 100 streams.

[Civic Response @CivicResponse]

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

L.I.2462 is now revoked! 💚

[Civic Response @CivicResponse]

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

Historic Day for Africa!

With the support of EU 🇪🇺, Ghana 🇬🇭 officially launched the #FLEGT licence, becoming the 1st African nation and 2nd globally (after Indonesia) to issue this gold-standard certification for legal timber.

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.

And nine of the reserves have been classified as “red zones” because of the level of damage they have suffered.
