Despite a series of raids in the Tano Anwia Forest Reserve in the Ashanti Region, illegal miners continue to invade the area, raising concerns about the forest's future.
According to JoyNews' Environmental Journalist, Erastus Asare Donkor, in recent times, the legal concessionaire, Clean Jobs, which is responsible for protecting the land, sponsored military raids that resulted in the seizure of 19 excavators.
In a fresh raid on Tuesday, the concessionaire made additional arrests and seized four more excavators in the reserve, further highlighting the ongoing challenges in safeguarding the area.
