Former Ghana Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has stated that Ghana needs approximately $21 billion to rehabilitate land significantly damaged by unlawful mining operations and related destructive practices. The extensive degradation requires substantial financial investment for reclamation and restoration efforts across Ghana. Professor Frimpong-Boateng highlighted the scale of the problem, emphasizing the widespread impact of illegal mining on the environment. The funds would be allocated to reversing the damage inflicted on ecosystems and agricultural lands throughout Ghana. This figure underscores the significant environmental and economic consequences stemming from unregulated mining activities. Addressing this challenge is crucial for sustainable development and environmental protection in Ghana.
