  If Ghana's forest land have reduced in size from 8.5 - 1.8 within 100 years,notwithstanding some effort in tree planting,why do we still export them?

  If Ghana's forest land have reduced in size from 8.5 - 1.8 within 100 years,notwithstanding some effort in tree planting,why do we still export them?
  We are also told,we use about 600,000 cubit meters locally and export 400,000 cubit meters annually.
  If the condition has been so bad that we are on the verge of importing the logs from The Cameroon,why do our leaders,not think about it at all,but paying no attention,to the risky ventures in exporting the product and not to preserve the land,rather.
  There is nothing good happening for Ghana,because of unpatriotic attitude,selfishness,nepotism,tribalism,favouritism,that are killing us slowly but surely.
  
  IF WE DON'T TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES,THEY WILL TAKE BAD CARE OF US,IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
  
  I cry over the fact that,the time our future children,would be proficient,trained professional,enough to have stood for Ghana,to process our raw materials,they would be compelled to import some before.
  MARK IT SOMEWHERE.
  This is because we are being ruled by STUPID FOOLS,we call politicians.

  When I sit down and watch the wanton destroying of our land cover, I sometimes cry for mother,especially the younger generation. Why do our leaders and so called chiefs sit down and allow the few selfish people to destroy our livelihood as a nation.The most valuable asset we have is our forest.It sustains our life.We need good air to breathe and we get this from the forest. You cant even cut a single tree down here in America.Even if the tree I falling on a house they will never touch it until it falls down. Are we really serious as a nation?Please let us allow ouir institutions to work and aplly the laws without fear or favour and I EMPLOY THE LAW COURTS TO TAKE THIS MANTLE ON THEIR SHOULDERS AND INSTIL DISCIPLINE IN OUR BODY POLITICS,OTHERWISE,WE WILL LIVE TO REGRET IN THE FORESEABLE FUTURE, AND BY THE TIME WE REALISED OUR FOLLY,THINGS WOULD HAVE GONE WORSE BWYOND REPAIRS.A WORD TO THE WISE ...........
