Cobble Hill, British Columbia, Canada; Ghana, Africa, January 14, 2008 – Clark Sustainable Resource Developments Ltd. (CSR Developments), an international developer of sustainable tropical hardwoods, has engaged Romeo Adomah-Darteh as sustainability manager for the company’s Ghana operations on the Volta Lake.

“As CSR Developments moves towards commercial harvesting of the submerged timber on the Volta Lake, it is essential the company closely understands the environmental impact of this project, alongside the social and economic effects,” said Wayne Dunn, CEO and co-founder of CSR Developments. “Having Romeo on the ground in Ghana to directly manage one of the most important aspects of this endeavour is extremely valuable, and we could not be more pleased to have him join us at this exciting and critical time.”
