On 28 August 2019 Mongabay reported: Deforestation of Ghana's primary forests jumped 60 percent between 2017 and 2018 -- the biggest jump of any tropical country. Most of this occurred in the country's protected areas, including its forest reserves. The West African country of Ghana is known for having rich natural resources including vast tracts of rainforest. But its primary forest has all but vanished, with what remains generally relegated to reserves scattered throughout the country's southern third. These reserves are under official protection. However, that hasn't stopped logging and other illegal activities from deforesting them. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern science systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.

An analysis of satellite data published earlier this year by U.S.-based World Resource Institute (WRI), found Ghana experienced the biggest relative increase in primary forest loss of all tropical countries last year. According to the report, the loss of Ghana's primary forest cover jumped 60 percent from 2017 to 2018 -- almost entirely from its protected areas.
