 Concerned about the increase in degradation of Niger Delta mangrove forests, Senators are representing Biosil West, Syracic Dixon, as urged the federal government and regulatory bodies to end the wave of deforestation in the country. Addressing Senators correspondence in Abuja after receiving a recognition award from Global Initiatives for Climate and Environmental Sustaining Sticks in Condempty Legal Falling of Trees Across Nigeria's Forest, he urged the government at all levels to join in the fight against illegal felling of trees and deforestation and encourage afforestation in the country. I will encourage afforestation to combat desertification as a result of global warming and the climatic changes that are causing floods and erosion and all of this farming and wars across the continent. We should keep our eyes on preserving the trees that our ancestors did not cut and left for us. And all the communities in Biosil, all the communities in Biosil State, River State, Delta State, Aqaibom, Edo, Cross River, Ondo State and everywhere around the country where that is taking place. I want to use this opportunity to call on the governments and the local governments and community leaders and to call also on the federal agencies to pay attention to the reckless deforestation that is taking place and there has to be greater accountability in what is going on in the forest.
