But he will soon lose the land as the owner has sold the land out for mining. Without a farm and any alternative source of income, the young man was faced with a dilemma: the choice to either live on an empty stomach or take up employment at an illegal mining site, locally known as ‘Galamsey’. The Chief of Jomoro, Nana Kwame Ketebu II, acknowledged that “any survival that affects the environment is unsustainable.”
