Photo of the week, January 25th

The unseasonal rains of the weekend may help to keep down the dust but also kiss some life back into the heavily blackened landscape that scars our nation. Bush fires continue to claim lands, homes and livelihoods. Here we can see how careful management of an area can prevent the bush fire damage. Kpong Airfield, in the Eastern Region, plans and prepares for the bush fires during the rainy season, and for the rains and the floods during the dry season. Such planning and preparation needs to become common place to reduce the disruption to lives and negative effects on socio-economic developments on a more wide-spread basis.
