Forestry Commission Fights Illegal Operations

SAMUEL AFARI Dartey, Chief Executive of the Forestry Commission has stated that profiting on the country�s forests without due regard for their sustainability, could make Ghana a net importer of wood in the next 20 years. He indicated that his outfit was therefore poised to fight the menace of illegal forest operations such as chainsaw operation, forest degradation, illegal farming and mining also called �galamsey�. He indicated that as a regulatory body, the Forestry Commission would collaborate with stakeholders to ensure prudent forest governance, the resource development and stewardship. �I call on all stakeholders to join the campaign to secure our future, which depends on clean air, secured food, regulated climate and uninterrupted water supply,� he added.
