Bono: Sunyani District Forest Manager calls for public support in protecting forest reserves

The new Sunyani District Forest Manager, Kofi Adu Gyemfi, has a message. He urges the public to help protect the region's forest reserves.

Mr. Gyemfi stated that the Forestry Commission cannot do this alone. He emphasized the need for collaboration with all stakeholders in Sunyani municipality.

In an interview with CTV and Accra FM, he spoke about International Day of Forests. He highlighted the importance of collective responsibility in conserving forests.

Forests serve many essential functions. Their preservation requires a united approach from everyone.

Mr. Gyemfi warned against illegal activities like unauthorized logging and tree destruction. The Forestry Commission has strict measures to combat these actions.

This year's International Day of Forests is themed "Forest and Food." This theme aligns with the Forestry Commission's initiative for farmers to plant trees alongside crops.

According to Mr. Gyemfi, this partnership boosts food production and environmental sustainability.

He stressed the need for ongoing stakeholder engagement and public support. Protecting and sustainably using forest resources in Sunyani is crucial for everyone involved.
