Young Positivist writes : How galamsey is affecting Ghana's proforestation
Young Positivist decided to discuss the issue of galamsey (illegal mining) which is affecting Ghana's proforestation. This issue has been a national discussion for many years and is a prime factor hindering Ghana from combating climate change. Young Positivist has written about this issue before, including about two years ago, when they discussed how it had become an albatross around the country's neck and the devastating consequences faced.
Ghana, like many other countries in Africa, is endowed with natural and mineral resources. Despite these resources, Africa remains one of the poorest continents on earth. Kenyan Professor Ali Mazrui stated in one of his six paradoxes of Africa, "Africa is the richest continent in the world yet the poorest." Young Positivist noted that the more they write about this issue, the worse it gets, and that those who are supposed to act responsibly are doing little or nothing about it.
