POSTERITY IN TEARS..😭😭😭
CONCERNED CITIZENS OF ATEWA LANDSCAPE
Illegal mining has become a serious threat to both the environment and the livelihoods of urban and rural communities. Lands have been destroyed, and farmland access routes have been blocked, preventing farmers from reaching their fields to plant or harvest crops. This has contributed significantly to food insecurity. For example, a farmer with over two thousand plantain suckers was left helpless, unable to transport them to the farm due to impassable roads.

Moreover, illegal mining activities have diverted natural watercourses such as the Densu River, causing severe flooding and making it dangerous or impossible for community members to cross. The stagnant water left behind has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, leading to a surge in malaria cases. Tragically, this has resulted in preventable illnesses and even deaths.

Urgent action is needed to curb illegal mining and restore safe access to farmlands and water sources to protect lives and secure food production.

CCAL Leads Tree Planting Exercise at Potroase to Mark World Biodiversity Day.

Potroase, Eastern Region — May 22, 2025

To mark the 2025 World Biodiversity Day, the Concerned Citizens of Atewa Landscape (CCAL), in collaboration with FLOWER, and with the support of the Forestry Commission and A Rocha Ghana, organized a community-led tree planting exercise in the farming community of Potroase.
The event was held under the global theme “Be Part of the Plan”, a call to action urging individuals, communities, and institutions to play an active role in safeguarding biodiversity. Potroase, a community traversed by the Densu River, faces increasing environmental threats due to illegal mining and deforestation. The commemorative exercise aimed to restore degraded areas and raise awareness of the community’s role in conserving biodiversity and protecting natural water systems.
Community members, including traditional leaders, youth groups, and farmers, participated in the planting of indigenous tree seedlings. The Forestry Commission provided technical support for the selection of tree species and planting methods, while A Rocha Ghana supported the initiative through environmental education and logistics.
Speaking at the event, a representative of CCAL emphasized the significance of local action in addressing global environmental challenges. “This effort reflects our commitment to protecting the Atewa landscape, restoring degraded lands, and empowering our communities to become stewards of biodiversity,” the spokesperson stated.
Representatives from FLOWER and A Rocha Ghana also highlighted the importance of community partnerships in achieving long-term conservation outcomes.
The event reaffirmed CCAL’s ongoing dedication to promoting sustainable environmental practices and restoring ecosystems in and around the Atewa Forest. It further strengthened collaboration among civil society, state institutions, and local communities in the shared goal of biodiversity protection and landscape restoration.
