World Rivers Day 2024 themed 'Waterways of Life'. But in Ghana we mourn them as Waterways of Death, carriers of slow acting poison MERCURY. They are killing people SLOWLY. Galamsey is a MASSIVE HUMAN RIGHTS issue. Join the call 2 #stopGalamseyNOW! Images a few years ago vrs now.

@kkorang @fourthestategh Did you educate yourself on when Li2462 was passed? It was in 2022, & this court case is about that LI, passed by the Akufo Addo led govt. Maybe now you could revise your comment. It's good to read well so you're sure of what you're saying before using words like 'foolish'

[Helen La Trobe @HelenLaTrobe]

Legal action 1) to revoke LI2462 regs permitting mining in forest reserves & 2) an injunction to stop mining co's acting on their forest mining leases & stop the institutions granting more licences & permits to mine in forests. They provide & protect communities' water sources!

[Nature & Development Foundation @ndfwestafrica]

Today, a coalition of environmental and civic organizations, including @ndfwestafrica , @arochaghana, and others, have taken legal action to halt destructive mining activities in Ghana’s precious forest reserves.

Civil society taking government to court over legislation LI2462 (2022) that claims to protect forests from mining but instead has been proven to permit it and at a very fast rate. #revokeLI2462now

[Civic Response @CivicResponse]

Civic Response and 6 others filed a court case against 6 government agencies seeking the High Court to grant an interlocutory injunction to halt the issuance of permits or licenses under the disputed L.1.2462 regulations allowing mining activities in forest reserves
#StopGalamsey

[Helen La Trobe @HelenLaTrobe]

Now we can see why LI2462 allowing mining in forest reserves was rushed through...to giving mining rights to their cronies so they can go mine gold in Ghana's last remaining forests. This must stop NOW! The licences must be cancelled and #LI2462 revoked IMMEDIATELY!

Forest Invasion: Companies of Wontumi, Kumasi mayor, NPP Juaben parliamentary candidate & others scramble for mining in Ghana’s forest reserves

Palestinians are being killed in their thousands. Those who have survived the bombs face death by disease and starvation.

It is incomprehensible that we are still debating whether more human beings should die.

This cannot go on any longer. We need a permanent ceasefire, now.

[Helen La Trobe @HelenLaTrobe]

Sign this please! Ghana must #RepealLI2462 immediately

CSOs petition @NAkufoAddo and @askbagbin
The petition signed by 23 CSOs said, the L.I 2462, if not revoked has the potential to reverse all the gains and commitments Ghana has made in forest protection and the fight against climate change.

@Greenpeaceafric But more generally, the biggest problem facing our environment is powerful people.

[Helen La Trobe @HelenLaTrobe]

@Greenpeaceafric In Ghana, i believe it's gov't's determined pursuit of mining everywhere, fuelled by corruption, cronyism etc, n illegal mining controlled by powerful kingpins. Mining is destroying water sources, farmlands, forests, n now a new LI is permittimg gold mining in forest reserves

[Joseph Asunka @joeasunka]

We must all unite to strike gender-based violence out of our societies. I join @afrobarometer and numerous other organizations, advocates, and activists in this call for a zero tolerance for physical, emotional, and other forms of violence against women and girls.

Black Friday and other online shopping events have huge environmental impacts. This year, we're celebrating Green Friday instead. Will you join us by reposting this image and tagging @ClientEarth to raise awareness?

I am alarmed by what is happening in Antarctica where the evidence overwhelmingly shows that there is an acceleration of melting of ice, which could be catastrophic to coastal communities everywhere.

What happens in Antarctica doesn’t stay in Antarctica.
