The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) has secured a partnership with Zijin Golden Ridge Limited to support the restoration of degraded portions of the Subri Forest Reserve in the Western Region.
The partnership forms part of MIIF’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda and is aimed at supporting forest restoration while delivering benefits to communities within forest zones.
MIIF received a delegation from Zijin Golden Ridge Limited as the company formally agreed to partner the Fund on the reforestation initiative.
The project is being implemented in collaboration with the Forest Services Division of the Forestry Commission of Ghana.
Beyond replanting degraded forest areas, the initiative is expected to contribute to the protection of ecosystems and the preservation of livelihoods dependent on forest resources.

MIIF said the initiative reflects its commitment to using its ESG agenda to support environmental restoration while contributing to sustainable development.
The Fund said the collaboration with Zijin Golden Ridge demonstrates the role of partnerships in addressing environmental challenges and building a more sustainable future for Ghana.
