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. The fire, which lasted three days, also ravaged cocoa, coffee, and food crop farms, leaving residents devastated. 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.
