2. The many ways mining activities impact biodiversity. Mining affects biodiversity at multiple spatial scales (site, landscape, regional and global) through direct (i.e. mineral extraction) and indirect processes (via industries supporting mining operations, and external stakeholders who gain access to biodiversity-rich areas as the result of mining).
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) activities have contributed, in most cases, to the rural development of some African countries. Practically, these activities have influenced the environmental, health and socio-economic status. In essence, there is a need to investigate how these activities fuel poverty eradication in Africa. Here, a …

The government of Ghana responding to public outcry against the negative effects of "galamsey", placed a ban on illegal small-scale mining activities in March 2017.
―Gold Coast‖, now called Ghana. Lesser expenditure or capital is needed to undertake small-scale mining. In that regard, a group of persons not more than twenty in number, or a co-operative group numbering ten or more can carry out small-scale mining. Small-scale mining is also referred to as ―galamsey‖ in the local parlance (Hilson, 2002).
Illegal small-scale mining and processing activities (ASM) have led to a vast area of degraded, contaminated, and abandoned local-community lands, posing a major environmental concern in many ...
