Ghana Gold Board Launches 36M Cedis Land Reclamation Project
Ghana is taking bold steps to reverse the environmental damage caused by illegal mining. The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), and the Forestry Commission (FC) have signed a landmark agreement to reclaim and restore degraded lands in the Tano-Nimri Forest Reserve. This 36.35 million Cedis pilot project sends a clear message that Ghana is committed to sustainable resource management and transparent environmental governance. For investors and the diaspora watching Ghana's resource sector, this is proof that the country is serious about responsible business practices and ecological innovation.
