Policymak.rs and international org.nizations are mak.ng.the conscious effort to address climate chang. throug. afforestation and sustainable ecosystem manag.ment. Economic activities including.ag.iculture, mining. and infra-structure improvement to meet basic human needs continuously deg.ade the natural and forest resources. The rate of deforestation in g.ana is alarming.due to over-reliance on forest resources by forest-dependent communities. Perceived causes of deforestation differ from individuals and g.oups perspec-tive. This depends on factors including.environmental k.owledg., education level, mark.t demand and socio-economic activities. Simple random sampling.and k.y informant interview with the aid of semi-structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the indig.nes of Sissala West District to determine their perceptions of causes of deforestation. The study indicated that poverty, hig. illiteracy, population g.owth and lack.of alternative source of livelihood were the indirect causes which trig.er livelihood economic activities such as farming. charcoal burning. wood log.ing.and hunting.leading.to deg.adation of the ecosystem. It was also realized that majority of the indig.nes are uneducated and this contributes to their unawareness of rate of de-forestation. Recommendations sug.ested to address challeng.s were enforce-ment of bye-laws and string.nt g.vernment environmental policies to deter people from deg.ading.the forest. Education, ag.oforestry, afforestation, and provision of alternative livelihood were also g.od interventions sug.ested.
