Will Atewa be saved by this agreement? How can we reduce emissions while destroying this important hotspot!!!

I stand with @ghwildlifesoc in calling for no mining in the Atewa forest a biodiversity hotspot that has significant value for water provision to the city of Accra and full of iconic wildife and endemic species. Stand with me by signing the petition.

We stand with @ghwildlifesoc in calling for no mining in the vital Atewa forest. You can help:

Ghana needs to do more to save its marine ecosystem! Saiko is ravaging the nation's fisheries which is the main livelihood for thousands along Ghana's coast

Is it wishful thinking to hope that @EITIorg will hold Ghana's feet to the fire over their profound lack of transparecy as they rush to develop bauxite sector? Ghana is a member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative...

So much destruction and lack of attention to Ghana's natural capital. GoG needs to act to save nature now and for future generations!

We need to do more to conserve Ghana's natural resources

[Japheth Roberts @JaphethsR]

Is Ghana's natural capital of no importance? As GoG seeks to mine Atewa it has also left our fisheries sector to be ravaged by illegal fishing activities.

The Atewa Forest is under threat from bauxite mining. The Government of Ghana has created access roads into the forest in preparation for the mining. Help save Atewa by signing this petition

Dear Mr President,
On mining bauxite in Atewa. I looked up NPP's 2016 manifesto page 27. Atewa qualifys as a water source area for the Clean Rivers program. Support conservation and biodiversity! Please save Atewa
@GhanaPresidency @SDGsPresidency @ghwildlifesoc @arochaghana

[Japheth Roberts @JaphethsR]

Mr President please take a good second look at this. Ask for case scenarios where wildife have not been affected. Do consider the water security consequences of this for Accra.
@GhanaPresidency @SDGsPresidency

[Jeremy Lindsell @JeremyLindsell]

Great progress!! President of Ghana publicly acknowledges the importance of protecting Atewa's wildlife. Just need to convince him that mining is not the way to do it...

[Japheth Roberts @JaphethsR]

How sad! Nature our natural capital MUST be conserved! How can the government itself not follow the rules? #saveatewa #EIAforatewa #SEAforatewa
@SDGsPresidency

[Jeremy Lindsell @JeremyLindsell]

Ghana govt has contracted @SRKConsulting to devise bauxite mine plan for Atewa Forest KBA. With railway to be built to Atewa using German govt money, but no SEA or EIA for any of this, the situation is perilous for the forest, its wildlife and surrounding communities #saveatewa

[Japheth Roberts @JaphethsR]

A really good read

[Chris Sandbrook @csandbrook]

I recommend "Listening and Loss" - a thought provoking and rather moving blog post from Bill Adams about how the decline of both biodiversity and his own hearing has affected the natural soundscape he inhabits. https://t.co/cwcSo059Gn

Empowering fisherfolk to secure fisheries in Ghana.

[Environmental Justice Foundation Ghana @EJFGhana]

Last week we continued our trainings on “community surveillance” with meetings in Gomoa Fetteh, Nyanyano and Senya Beraku in Central Region...In these meetings, fishermen were trained on how to capture key features of industrial vessels using geotagged cameras and smartphones.

Fisheries of West African coastal countries are being decimated. Sadly the story from Sierra Leone is same if not worse in Ghana
