GoldBod, military engineers partner to reclaim galamsey-damaged Tano Nimri Forest

The collaboration brings together GoldBod's environmental restoration initiative and the military's engineering expertise to address the extensive physical damage left by illegal mining activities in the reserve.

The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has partnered with the Ghana Armed Forces Engineer Regiment to undertake a GH¢35 million land reclamation project aimed at restoring portions of the Tano Nimri Forest Reserve devastated by illegal mining.

Sustainability Manager, Samuel Danso, explained that illegal mining had left behind deep excavations, unstable ground and extensive environmental degradation, making natural recovery difficult without substantial engineering intervention.
