Alhaji Limuna lamented, \u201cThe sustained exploitation of savannah resources to satisfy socio-economic needs have led to deforestation, destruction of water wildlife habitats and resources depletion.\u201d<\/p>\n
He called for closer and collective efforts between traditional rulers and the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in developing medium term and annual action plans to address the specific issues of environmental degradation.<\/p>\n
