Water from the forest serve about 5 million Ghanaians. In the whole world and in conservation, some species of frogs, butterflies, plants can only be found in the Atewa forest. This clearly tells that we must do well not to destroy the ecosystem we are blessed with.<\/p>\n<p>I am told, over a long period and with commitments, we can keep the forest and benefit from it while we raise the amount we are exchanging it for right now. What is the difficulty in doing that? Because we cannot wait but want the pleasure now?<\/p>\n<p>The way we are burnt on ridding ourselves of oxygen, I bet you that if Christ even tarries, we will be extinct because there will be no life.<\/p>\n<p>I will prefer to travel over the roads we have for some time and keep Atewa forest to sustain the ecosystem we have been endowed with.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the documents have been signed and I will say, let&#8217;s be ready for the many unknowns, the destruction of the forest will bring including new diseases we have not seen before.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I might be gone but when it happens, let&#8217;s know that we ignored what ecosystem health and disease transmission pattern taught us.
