| Engagement & Collaboration | Our management and CSR team meet regularly with the NICFC, Inland Canoe Transport Owners Association, local chiefs and district authorities. We use local media and traditional communication to sensitise communities before and during harvesting operations. By engaging stakeholders, we minimise conflict and share the benefits of this new industry.- • Water & sanitation
- • Transport & safety
- • Education
- • Health & sensitisation
|
| Contribution to National Development | Salvaging submerged timber aligns with Ghana’s development priorities and several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):- • Rural development & jobs – Creates skilled and unskilled employment in harvesting, milling, logistics and crafts.
- • Safety & transport efficiency – Removing stumps reduces fatalities and enables safer navigation.
- • Forest conservation & climate action – Reduces deforestation and greenhouse‑gas emissions by substituting salvaged wood for cutting live forests; converts waste wood into charcoal to displace illegal charcoal production.
- • Tourism & aquaculture – A safer lake encourages recreational use, tourism and aquaculture development.
By purchasing KKTR’s timber or partnering with us, clients contribute to a circular economy that honours Ghana’s history, empowers local communities and preserves the natural environment. |
