The proposed ‘Final Lifeline for Atewa Forest’ intervention is the last opportunity to save Atewa Forest from bauxite mining interest. The Atewa Range Forest Reserve is a crucial source of water to more than five (5) million Ghanaians. It is also recognized as a Globally Significant Biodiversity Area and provides important climate services. However, the Atewa Forest is at risk of being lost forever as the Government of Ghana has signed a MoU with the Chinese government to mine bauxite deposits in the Atewa Forest Reserve. Bauxite mining will cause irreversible biodiversity loss and environmental degradation, undermining crucial ecosystem services notably a reliable provision of clean water.
