Why is it important?
It unraveled the hitherto unknown relationship between climate variability and change and changing scenes of the forest ecosystem.
Perspectives
The study findings draws attention to the rapid deforestation activities witnessed in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality by offering a substantive reason which deviates sharply from the known causes of deforestation in the area. Hence, for future policies targeted at reducing deforestation activities in the region to be successful, there is the need to include the views and opinions of the community members due to the direct use of forest resources
