Wood Exporters Partner with Nigerian State Governments Against Deforestation

Tropical Wood Exporters Association of Nigeria (TWEAN) is partnering some state governments to fight deforestation and boost the economy.

The deal, it was learnt, is to regenerate the depleted forests in the country and reduce the effect of climate change on the environment.

The group is said to have acquired over 1,000 hectares of land for tree planting in Ogun and Ekiti states to boost the economy.

The exporters, it was gathered, have exceeded the Federal Government policy of cut one and plant two trees by cutting one and planting seven.
