Atewa forest provides water to over five million Ghanaians. It is the headwater for three key rivers in Ghana namely; the Densu river which flows into the Weija Dam that supplies water to millions of inhabitants in Western part of Accra, the Ayensu river which flows all the way to Sweduro and Wineba in Central Region and the Birim river which also supplies water to the Pra river for the Akyim people and flows to the Western Region where it enters the sea”. However Government of Ghana has taken decision to carry out large scale bauxite mining in the ancient Atewa Forest Reserve in the Eastern Region of Ghana bt has faced resistance from majority of Ghanaians and other environmentally friendly local and international Organisations. Help save Atewa Forest now
