Tarpeh said that all structures erected in the wetlands without authorization from the EPA will be demolished.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA is the Government of Liberia focal entity for the management of the environment and natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the 2022 World Wetlands Day Celebration on February 2, 2022 in Kpatawee, Prof. Tarpeh explained that it is important that Liberians conserve and use wetlands wisely, because doing so will signify Liberia\u2019s obligatory fulfillment under the Ramsar Convention.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Tarpeh disclosed that last year, the EPA undertook an assessment mission to determine current status of Kpatawee predicated upon numerous complaints and reports highlighting the increasing wave of pit sawing and other illegal and unregulated activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKey finding of the report indicated that Kpatawee Waterfall continue to be degraded leading to gradual decline of its ecological integrity, especially its watershed importance that had given rise to this waterfall,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Tarpeh indicated that cognizant of EPA\u2019s statutory mandate to protect this ecosystem, the Agency signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Jalk Enterprise to assist in protecting the Kpatawee Waterfall through series of activities such as awareness raising, helping to maintain the forest canopy, promoting ecotourism and many others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, little calm has returned to this waterfall, but we need to do more. I look forward to receive Kpatawee Waterfall Management Plan which will take into consideration agreeable activities that Jalk and the inhabitants will undertake in protecting the waterfall, conserving biodiversity, addressing the livelihood of the local inhabitants and above all promoting the Pro Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development,\u201d Tarpeh added.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Levi Z. Piah, Focal Point of the Ramsar Convention at the EPA pleaded for support for the official gazzettment of the Kpatawee Waterfall.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering the keynote address, Deputy Head of Mission at Sweden Embassy, Johan Romare said protecting wetlands, and using them sensibly, are part of critical ways Liberia can achieve sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that wetlands support Liberia and Liberians, in so many different ways, including keeping our landscape in better shape, supporting agriculture development, tourism, fisheries, our forests; and very crucial is that these wetlands serve as important hotspots for biodiversity, and serve as carbon sink.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that properly maintaining our wetlands is crucial in maintain our biodiversity and addressing the climate change challenge that we are currently experiencing,\u201d Romare said.<\/p>\n<p>He further explained that plastics pollution greatly affects wetlands and the environment in general and said \u201cIt remains a fact, that most of the plastics that we use, end up in the ocean, our beaches, and other land areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we throw bottles, plastic bags, and empty water sachets away, they eventually end up in the ocean, wetlands and eventually in our food chain, creating an environmental and health challenge,\u201d the Sweden envoy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s therefore use this year\u2019s celebration of World Wetlands Day to reflect on concrete measures that can be taken to address this issue of plastics pollution,\u201d Romare said.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded the gathering that in March 2019 Sweden and the Liberian Government, working with Conservation International (CI) organized and hosted the first ever \u2018Blue Ocean Conference\u2019 in the West Africa region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeveral commitments were made at the conclusion of that conference. One of them was:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We commit to a ban on single-use plastics by 2022 and commits to recovering and responsibly managing all plastic packaging by 2030 by partnering with stakeholders at relevant governance levels to address plastics production, marketing, and use,\u201d Romare indicated<\/p>\n<p>As the EPA was the lead Government agency responsible for these commitments, perhaps it is about time that we think about moving some of these commitments forward, particularly on marine plastics pollution. Sweden is ready to support both the Government and private sector actors in this regard. This can be achieved by working in broad and more collaborative ways that incorporate key actors from all sectors.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming years, Sweden will be increasing engagement in the areas of environment and climate change, natural resources and biodiversity, including mangrove, forests, and livelihood of coastal and forest communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
