They have therefore called for an immediate nationwide ban on illegal mining, the strengthening of regulatory enforcement, initiation of environmental restoration, education and engagement of communities on the impact of mining and its activities on them.

“It is crucial for all stakeholders—government, civil society, traditional authorities, and private sector entities—to collaborate in combating the galamsey crisis. Success will require a unified approach, free from discrimination, ensuring that all perpetrators, regardless of their status or affiliation, are held accountable. Without decisive action, the future of Ghana remains at grave risk.

“In conclusion, we the Built Environment Professional bodies are committed to working collaboratively with Ghanaians, other professionals, and all relevant stakeholders to take all necessary legal steps to ensure that the government and all players are mobilised to combat and ultimately stop illegal mining. Together, we can safeguard Ghana’s natural resources, protect our environment, and secure a sustainable future for all,” parts of the statement read.
