Environmental organisations this week reportedly renewed calls on government to stop all mining and prospecting activities in the Atewa Forest Reserve due to grievous repercussions on the country.

The environmental groups said the Atewa Forest provided a variety of ecosystem service and other benefits that superseded the financial gains derived from mining bauxite in the forest.

The environmental groups were led by ARocha Ghana, Wildlife Society of Ghana, Rainforest Trust, Friends of the Earth-Ghana, International Committee of the Netherlands, and Advocates for Biodiversity Conservation.

They asked the government and the China Development Bank to find alternative ways that would enable the Atewa Forest to generate additional financial resources for the state and support the development of local communities while preserving the ecological integrity for the forest.

The Atewa Forest, located in the Eastern Region, has national recognition as an important reserve for delivering a variety of ecosystem services and sheltering the headwater of major rivers such as Weija, Densu, Birim and Ayensu.
