The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has announced a landmark partnership with the Ghana Armed Forces and the Forestry Commission to launch a national land reclamation project. The initiative begins with the restoration of 50 hectares within the Tano Nimiri Forest Reserve, a critical step toward reversing environmental degradation caused by mining and other human activities.
At the signing ceremony, GoldBod CEO, Sammy Gyamfi, Esq., reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to environmental restoration under its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) mandate and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Deputy Minister for Defence, Hon. Ernest Brogya Genfi, emphasized the Armed Forces’ role in safeguarding Ghana’s natural resources, while Forestry Commission CEO, Dr. Hugh Brown, highlighted the importance of protecting forest ecosystems for future generations.
The project is expected to serve as a model for sustainable land management and reinforce Ghana’s broader environmental protection agenda.
This collaboration underscores the growing recognition that environmental sustainability requires joint action across government, industry, and civil society.
