Mr Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, has underscored the need for urgent action to reverse
the alarming rate of deforestation and forest degradation.
He said despite the several benefits derived from the forest, the exploitation of these resources for national development had not been sustainable over the years.
