Ghana Forest Plantation Strategy: 2016-2040.

The Ghana Forest Plantation Strategy aims to deliver economic, social, and environmental benefits through landscape restoration. It underscores the importance of using natural resources carefully and sustainably to ensure a better future for both current and upcoming generations. It stresses the need to protect and restore forests, watersheds, and wildlife habitats that are currently under threat due to deforestation, mining, and wildfires. The strategy serves as a blueprint for landscape restoration in Ghana over the next 25 years, calling for strategic and decisive action to address deforestation and degradation. Developed through a consultative process led by the Forestry Commission, the strategy outlines pathways and resources needed to achieve sustainable supply of planted forest goods and services. It aligns with the vision of the Forestry Commission to leave richer forest and wildlife endowments for future generations. The document translates the Ministry's policy direction on forest plantation development into specific targets for establishment, maintenance, and rehabilitation of plantations.
