Illegal mining (galamsey) is degrading forests and polluting air, water, and land in Ghana. Galamsey operations damage the environment by cutting down trees, releasing mercury and other toxins into water sources, and using equipment and methods that pollute the air and land much like atomic bombs. Unless addressed, galamsey will continue to negatively impact Ghana's environment.
