Speaking to Citi News, Prof. Gordon said stray animals pose the biggest threat to young seedlings. He also said planting 50 million trees rather than the 5 million would have been a great idea. “I think this is a fantastic initiative that I would say should be 50 million not five million trees. When you look at the amount that we lose annually, we need 50 million plantings every year to make up for the losses. At Legon, we had our own tree planting project which I was part of some years back.
