Builders started constructing a gas station on protected Parks and Gardens property near Wa. People attempted to take the government green space around Cantonments in 2019 for office towers. The same group had proposed creating housing developments on public land the previous year. These actions violated rules designed to protect natural areas from development. Local officials failed to stop the illegal construction projects.
Eco-Conscious Citizens received reports about land grabbers targeting the Tamale parkland. Trespassers placed concrete blocks across the protected green space without permission. The illegal activity threatens the government's Re-Set program goals. Citizens want authorities to defend public parks and apply existing environmental laws. Strong enforcement can prevent future damage to community green areas.
Climate change protection requires saving forests, wetlands, and water resources from destruction and degradation. Government leaders must guard these natural spaces against private developers. Parks provide clean air and help reduce dangerous pollution levels across Ghana. Citizens ask President Mahama to cancel Executive Instrument 144 immediately. The order removes protection from the Achimota Forest, which provides fresh air for residents of Accra.
