Dr. Emmanuel Allegye Cudjoe, Chief Veterinary Officer of Ghana, has raised concerns over the devastating impact of illegal mining (galamsey), on aquatic beings and humans alike.

Speaking at the 2024 World Rabies Day Celebration in Accra, Dr. Cudjoe emphasized that the chemicals used in illegal mining activities have harmed fish in water bodies, which are then consumed by humans, posing serious health risks to them (humans).

“The effects of galamsey extend beyond aquatic life, threatening Ghana’s food security. The destruction of farmlands and water pollution have led to a significant decline in agricultural productivity, exacerbating food insecurity concerns. Additionally, chemicals used in mining have contaminated water bodies, affecting both aquatic life and human health,” he stated.
