Monrovia — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has begun demolishing structures built in areas earmarked as “unsafe for human habitat.”Report by Alline Dunbar, [email protected]At least two structures – one in ELWA in Paynesville, the other in Matadi, Sinkor were broken by the EPA. According to the Inspector General of the EPA, R. Baiyeezenah Brown, the structure in the ELWA area was demolished because the owner of the structure violated Part 3 Section 6 Annex 13 of the Environmental Protection and Management Laws of Liberia. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency is cautioning citizens of cutting mangroves from the swamps as they are very important for the environment. Inspector Brown added the more the mangroves are being removed, the more access the water has to the land. So, if you cut down mangroves, it’s like you are holding your nose and don’t want to breath.”
