A new World Bank report says Ghana’s annual deforestation rate is around 3.51%, meaning the country loses at least 315,000 hectares of its forest a year, costing about $400 million annually. To help reverse the damage, a Ghana project is promoting sustainable forestry through timber, seedling and essential oil sales and educational tours. Stacey Knott reports from Breman Bedum, a farming community in Ghana’s Central region.
