Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Rights and Advocacy Initiatives Network (RAIN), a not-for-profit organization aimed at developing a resilient environment for humanity, has underscored the need to inculcate knowledge on environmental issues in children.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Doreen Asumang-Yeboah, Director of RAIN, said children were the future generation and their acceptance to conservation would help stop further depletion Ghana\u2019s forest cover and protect the environment.<\/p>\n

She was speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after joining school children and community members at Abuabugya and Okyerekrom in the Atwima Mponua District of Ashanti, to plant tree seedlings to mark the 2022 Green Ghana Day.<\/p>\n

RAIN together with community members planted 250 seedlings of mahogany and ofram which were supplied by the Forest Services Division (FSD) of the Nkawie Forest District.<\/p>\n

The engagement was to conscientize the inhabitants of the communities, especially, school children, on the need to plant, nurture, and protect trees and forests as part of efforts to conserve the environment.<\/p>\n

Mrs Asumang-Yeboah expressed worry at the rate of losses of forests and other land-use purposes, especially on agriculture and mining, adding that forests played important roles in human lives including clean air and protection of water resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cForest is the surest way to mitigate climate change which is currently a global crisis. They provide wild fruits, spices, herbs and mushrooms that supplement the food, nutritional and medicinal needs of the people\u201d, she observed.<\/p>\n

The exercise also led to planting of indigenous timber tree seedlings around school compounds, open spaces in the communities and farms. This year\u2019s Green Ghana Day was held under the theme \u2018Mobilizing for a Greener Future\u2019 and Ghana targets to plant 20 million tree seedlings.<\/p>\n
