The Ghana Geospatial Society (GGS) unequivocally condemns the ongoing crisis of galamsey and illegal mining that continues to ravage our nation and call on a ban on all forms of small scale and community mining schemes for one year period with a rigorous repair of the menace at hand whilst an effective regulation and monitoring mechanisms are put in place.
The relentless environmental devastation, severe health risks and grave socio-economic repercussions associated with these illicit activities have reached a critical juncture, necessitating immediate, decisive and a coordinated action.
As a professional body dedicated to the advancement of geospatial science and technology, we stand at the forefront of the fight against these destructive practices and are fully committed to leveraging our expertise to support sustainable and effective solutions.
