The Ghana Institute of Foresters calls on the Government to, as a matter of urgency, withdraw E.I. 144 that de-reserved portion of the Achimota Forest Reserve. There are ways to generate revenues from the forest while maintaining its ecological integrity. The Eco-park idea is one. Let us seriously explore such avenues to generate revenues from the forest, from which royalties can be paid to the owners so that it becomes a win for every interest in the land – the owners, Accra’s air quality, public space for leisure and other activities, ecotourism, biodiversity conservation, Ghana as a nation and indeed the world at large. As a nation, posterity will judge us all if we allow the private interests of few actors to override the common public interests in the Achimota forest.
