Our forests have been razed, our rivers poisoned, and our farmlands degraded—all at the hands of illegal and irresponsible mining, which you have failed to address decisively.</p></blockquote></section><img alt="Galamsey site" loading="lazy" width="700" height="500" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.api.sportal365.com%2Fprocess%2Fsmp-images-production%2Fpulse.com.gh%2F19112024%2Fd18a23f0-5218-4b67-add2-b772236d7efd&w=750&q=75 1x, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.api.sportal365.com%2Fprocess%2Fsmp-images-production%2Fpulse.com.gh%2F19112024%2Fd18a23f0-5218-4b67-add2-b772236d7efd&w=1920&q=75 2x" src="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.api.sportal365.com%2Fprocess%2Fsmp-images-production%2Fpulse.com.gh%2F19112024%2Fd18a23f0-5218-4b67-add2-b772236d7efd&w=1920&q=75"/><section><p>The coalition emphasised that the President’s failure to act on the destruction caused by illegal mining is <i>“threatening the lives of powerless rural communities who have no alternative water sources,” </i>describing the situation as <i>“deeply shameful, lacking intergenerational vision, and reflective of poor leadership and natural resource governance.”</i></p></section><section><p>In Ghana, galamsey refers to unregulated small-scale gold mining activities conducted without official permits or oversight. The term originates from the phrase <i>“gather them and sell,”</i> reflecting the informal and often unlawful nature of these operations. Galamsey has led to extensive environmental damage, with around 60% of Ghana’s rivers, including the Oda, Offin, Prah, and Densu rivers, heavily polluted by mercury and cyanide.</p></section></section><section class="ArticleTags_content__vhUTh"><section class="ArticleTags_wrapper__gdaSR"><span class="BodyText_body--medium__rlyf0 ArticleTags_text-wrapper__4VB_8">News</span><span class="BodyText_body--medium__rlyf0 ArticleTags_text-wrapper__4VB_8">Local</span></section></section></section><ul class="Article_authors__9XVIM Article_authors__inside__lR73p Article_authors__inside__bottom__CSWaX"><li class="FollowAuthorsCard_content__yzceJ"><a class="FollowAuthorsCard_author__hrUmG" href="/authors/maxwell-nyagamago-2024111914305066577" title="Maxwell Nyagamago"><figure class="profile-avatar author-initials"><figcaption>M</figcaption></figure><span class="BodyText_body--medium__rlyf0 FollowAuthorsCard_author__name___hnal">Maxwell Nyagamago</span></a><button class="FollowAuthorsCard_button__JexDP"><span class="BodyText_body--medium__rlyf0">Follow</span><svg width="25" height="25" viewBox="0 0 25 25" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="" role="img" aria-label="Follow author"><path d="M19.6545 3.83789H5.65454C4.54997 3.83789 3.65454 4.73332 3.65454 5.83789V19.8379C3.65454 20.9425 4.54997 21.8379 5.65454 21.8379H19.6545C20.7591 21.8379 21.6545 20.9425 21.6545 19.8379V5.83789C21.6545 4.73332 20.7591 3.83789 19.6545 3.83789Z" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M12.6545 8.83789V16.8379" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M8.65454 12.8379H16.6545" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></button></li></ul></article></section><section class="SeparatorWithLabel_separatorContainer___ZpTy"><section class="SeparatorWithLabel_separatorLine__4X1OG"></section><span class="SeparatorWithLabel_separatorLabel__UAQ5V">Next Article</span><section class="SeparatorWithLabel_separatorLine__4X1OG"></section></section></section><footer class="Footer_wrapper__Hz0fl footer-class"><section class="Footer_container__4IV0l"><h3 class="Footer_title__h9sb4">Get in Touch</h3><section class="Footer_description__6dUfD">Reach out to us at <a href="mailto:sales@pulse.com.gh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="sales@pulse.com.gh">sales@pulse.com.gh</a>or<a href="tel:+233209316392 " title="+233209316392 ">+233209316392 </a>to advertise with us.
