sooner. >> there will be no rain forest left on the planet in 100 years time according to the latest research from the forestry commission. the world forestry congress is meeting in south africa to try find ways of stopping the decline. ana boitang is in ghana, one of the eight worst offenders. >> this is a sawmill in one of the ghana's forest reserves. we have to film caretly because these workers don't want their activities observed. rg according to the forestry commission more than 80% of the timber sold within ghana is from legaillegal sources. he agreed to talk to us if we hided his face.

more of carrots and sticks by way of motivating them or giving them incentives or other alternative livelihoods, and also enforcement by using some of the team like rapid response teams. but a big part of the solution is looking at it from governmental level and coordination. >> the commission is also replanting on degraded land. this is a teak tree plantation. environmentalists say ghana has one of the best pieces of forestry legislate in the world but commitment is lacking. >> have not been given free thoond managfreehandto manage tf you delve deeper, you will realize all the chain saw operations and illegal farms are plosions behind. we must be very bold to talk

about it. >> it is the complex situation and environmentalists believe the forests will appear in a matter of decades if the government doesn't take more serious action. ana boatang, al jazeera, ga naz. nicknamed superhenge the monument cises o 60ss consists s similar to stonehenge. earlier i spoke to vincent gafney, part of the group that discovered stonehenge. >> i believe in the last week we

begin to suspect that there may be up to 200 stones at this site. to put that into context. stonehenge at its -- when it had its most actual individual stones only had about 90. so this does give you some idea of the scale we're talking about. stonehenge is about 110 meters across. this thing is nearly 480 meters, one and a half kilometers in circumference. my job is to collect together all this data and we have huge amounts of information on thousands of archaeological features republishing that. however there are big questions. we don't know what type of stone is it, are they local stones, blue stone from southern wales transported over hundreds of kilometers, we don't know that
