- Illegal mining in Ghana, known as "galamsey," is causing severe environmental damage by contaminating water sources with toxic substances like mercury.
- This pollution not only harms ecosystems and human health but also increases the cost of treating water, impacting everyone in Ghana.
- Efforts like the Poison for Gold campaign aim to raise awareness, promote alternative livelihoods, and advocate for stricter enforcement of mining laws to address this urgent issue and protect the country's future.
