Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Anglican Ecosystem-Bishops (Eco-Bishops) of the West African Province, a movement of the Anglican Communion, has targeted to plant over one million trees to support government\u2019s Green Ghana project.<\/p>\n

Right Reverend Dennis Debukari Tong, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Tamale, said the initiative was in line with the Anglican Communion\u2019s project, where Bishops were designated as Eco-Bishops to encourage members and clergy to protect natural resources.<\/p>\n

He said the Eco-Bishops were tasked to help \u201cmaintain the earth,\u201d engage government and other stakeholders to move beyond planting trees to sustaining their growth.<\/p>\n

He mentioned that the Anglican Diocesan Development and Relief Organisation also provided seedlings to enable the Tamale Diocese to achieve its 1,000-tree planting target within its churches and schools.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The bishop was speaking to the Ghana News Agency during a tree planting exercise to mark the Green Ghana Day, with pupils of the Tishegu Anglican Primary School in Tamale.<\/p>\n

The Green Ghana Day is a government initiative instituted to harness the essence of protecting the environment and the country\u2019s forest cover.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Green Ghana Day is on the theme: \u201cMobilising for a Greener Future,\u201d and targeted planting 20 million trees across the country on June 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cEco-Bishops have the responsibility to persuade people to begin to work towards the maintenance of the earth to reduce global warming,\u201d Right Reverend Tong noted.<\/p>\n
