Since Monday, landscape management members within 5 Hotspot Intervention Areas under the Ghana Cocoa Forest REDD+ Program (#GCFRP) have been receiving training on the GCFRP context, its implementation activities, beneficiaries and the Benefit Sharing Plan of the program.
How can we mitigate the impact of agricultural expansion on biodiversity? This article examines trade-offs between yields and biodiversity of birds in palm oil smallholdings: ow.ly/2M5f50GKbyn @KeithCHamer @JaneHillYork @lyndaofosuhene @Winston_Asante @sascriven @FunkyAnt
Household work performed in parental homes is not counted as child labour, but household work performed on parental cocoa farm is child labour? So where do we place a 14 yr old bringing plantain home from farm for family use?

Most developing nations are dealing with the ‘symptoms’ when it comes climate change
Fascinating to see how mapping by @spacegovuk has helped Ghana tackle deforestation & is supporting cocoa farmers adapt to climate impacts by increasing the amount of tree-shaded cocoa cultivation. Collaboration, research & innovation like is key to building resilience #COP26
Helping local communities adapt to the impacts of #ClimateChange is a priority for the UK’s #COP26 Presidency. It was great to discuss with @Winston_Asante & &ErnestDwamena4 & others Ghana’s approach, the challenges it faces & how we can work together to build resilience.
What will it profit a nation to plant 5 million trees and destroy #Atewa forest? #GreenGhanaDay #GreenGhanaProject #SaveAtewaForest
"Social media has played a key role as a science #Communication channel but what is shared is not an adequate representation of #COVID19 research across #Africa," acc. to @BenjiGyampoh, EIC of @sciafmag. Why? Check out his analysis on @SciDevNetSSA👇! scidev.net/global/scidev-…
Through our International Partnership Programme, we fund innovative, satellite-driven projects around the world. 🛰️ Forests 2020 from @ecometrica uses satellites to protect and restore forests, tackling #climatechange. 🌲🌍 #BSW21 | #COP26 ecometrica.com/forests-2020
To ‘Christians’ who have church buildings built in floodplains and water courses, you are the reason someone’s home gets flooded and a community is not getting water because their stream has ceased to flow. This is not how to demonstrate ‘love your neighbor as yourself’.
The politics of numbers and the galamsey games!
Buy few pieces of toffee and distribute to several people. Use the story to gain several millions of dollars. This is the story of private sector sustainability programs in cocoa.
If you cannot help build institutions to enforce national laws on forest encroachment, then give up on achieving deforestation-free cocoa in Ghana. Weak institutions can never win the fight against deforestation @EUClimateAction @Fern_NGO
Solving child labour and deforestation for cocoa farmers and not the supply chain means that, a great deal of effort must be dedicated to understand the contexts and Socio-demographic constructs which drive decision making around these issues
Next week's @WorldCocoa Partnership Meeting is host to over 50 #cocoa & #sustainability speakers from gov't officials and private sector leaders to subject matter experts and farmers. View speaker bios & register to join us worldcocoafoundation.org/event/wcfpm/?t… #WCFPM #SustainableCocoa

Why should you superintend over such blatant degradation of our forests and then vote money to plant trees in the name of Green Ghana Day? What is not happening?
A whole quarter-century ago (ouch!) Oliver Phillips (@ForestPlots) and I published a paper in @ScienceMagazine showing that the Amazon forest was acting as a biomass carbon sink helping to slow down climate. Nice to celebrate in a reunion in Leeds…

Ten years ago, someone called me into a meeting and said unbridled corruption had riddled Ghana's youth employment programme, and he thought a journalist was needed to resolve it. I had done my bachelor's and master's degrees in journalism, but I had never had a single class...
Really important and striking report in @guardian. The most widely used carbon credits based on avoided deforestation of tropical forests are pretty ineffective. The main problem is inflated predictions of how much deforestation would have happened without the project.
NEW: Forest carbon offsets approved by the world’s leading provider and used by Disney, Shell, Gucci and others are largely worthless and could make global heating worse, a new investigation finds. With @hannahknuth , @herrfischer & @lukewbarratt 👇👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…
Logging of tropical forests causes carbon from dead and damaged trees to be emitted, but the remaining trees grow rapidly and so post-logging forests are expected to be carbon sinks. 1/

Is Akufo-Addo saying if the illegal miners were rebels, Ghana's security forces would watch them helplessly so that they kill us? If he cannot lead the police, military and all the human resources under his command to stop galamsey, then he should step down as president.
The effects of the Slave Trade have been devastating to the African continent and to the African Diaspora, with the entire period of slavery stifling Africa’s economic, cultural and psychological progress.
