Illegal Miners Block Birim River: Lives and Communities in Danger

The Birim River, once a vital water source for numerous communities in Ghana's Eastern Region, now faces a dire threat. Illegal mining operations, commonly known as "galamsey," have not only polluted the river but have also physically obstructed its flow.
