Forest Fire Devastates Mountain Afadjato, Threatens Livelihoods.

A severe forest fire has destroyed much of the vegetation on Ghana's tallest mountain, Afadjato, disrupting tourism in the scenic Liati-Wote community at its base.

Wildlife such as antelopes, tortoises, and butterflies perished in the flames, leaving the once-lush mountain barren and charred.The community’s chief, Togbe Kordadza V, blamed the disaster on careless charcoal burning, exacerbated by harmattan winds.
