Ghana is home to varying landscapes, from coastal regions in the south to dry savannahs in the north. Many people here depend on the land to live and thrive. But Ghana’s climate is changing fast.

Rising temperatures and shrinking forests are putting people and nature under pressure. Over 570,00 hectares of tree cover has been lost. In northern Ghana, around 80% of people are living in poverty, and more than one million are struggling to grow enough food. Without trees, over a third of the country could turn to desert — especially in the north, where fertile soil is fading and rivers are running dry.

That’s why, since 1994, we’ve been working with communities in Ghana to restore forests, protect the land and grow resilience.
