Joint Operation by Forest Division and Military Forces Targets Illegal Mining in Protected Reserve
- 10 illegal miners arrested in Boin Forest Reserve during a joint operation
- Operation led by Enchi Forest Division and military personnel to combat galamsey
- Suspects handed over to police for further investigation and prosecution
This operation is part of a larger, ongoing initiative to combat unauthorized mining activities that threaten the nation’s forest reserves. Illegal mining continues to pose a grave danger to Ghana’s forests, water bodies, and agricultural lands, with the Boin Forest Reserve being particularly vulnerable in recent years.
Mr. Frimpong issued a strong warning to those involved in similar activities, assuring that the Enchi Forest Division, in partnership with security agencies, is committed to safeguarding Ghana’s environmental resources.
