Ghana’s Ecosystem has been under severe and reckless attack for a considerable time. Our forests have recently come under attack through illegal mining.
Heritage Ghana is of the conviction that youths unemployment is a major contributing factor in this environmental rape. Our proposed solution is to protect our flora and fauna through provision of relevant skills and enterprise development to the youths and women for descent jobs. This serves as our primary reason with others for our current initiatives .
