How illegal gold mining threatens Ghana’s future

This revelation showed that it is almost impossible to eradicate illegal mining and restore lands in the country.

Ghana, over the last few years, has been in a tough battle with illegal mining, also known as galamsey. This action has cost the country several water bodies, land and vegetation. In this episode of Qonversations, the head of the political desk at GhanaWeb, Etsey Atisu, walks us through a documentary which focuses on the depth of damage caused by this illicit act.

Dr Ghanem, in an interview with Ismail Akwei, begins with a stark reminder: “Health is life.” He challenges the outdated definition of health as merely the absence of disease and instead argues for a reimagined standard — optimal functioning across body and mind. You may be disease-free, but if your cognitive function, mobility, or digestion isn’t thriving, you’re missing the very essence of life.
