A Rocha Ghana, an environmental Non-profit Organization said, it has read the statements made by the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) during a meeting with journalists published on Monday 5 April. A statement signed by Mr Daryl Bosu, Depuy National Coordinator of A Rocha Ghana and copied to the Ghana News Agency n response to GIADEC said, it rejects as ‘propaganda’ an apparent claim that the whole of Atewa Forest will be destroyed by bauxite mining. The statement said, the area it will be ‘playing’ with – a surprising term to use for an activity that will cause so much damage to livelihoods, species, habitats, and clean water – was about 10 per cent or less over 50 years, and would mine 5million tonnes of bauxite in that time.
