加纳大学环境与卫生研究所环境科学家 Ekua Odoom 博士表示，John Mahama 政府展现出打击非法采矿的新决心，在保护国家森林保护区方面取得显著进展。

1 月中旬在电视节目中评估政府一年政绩时，Odoom 博士指出该政府正通过军事执法、法律改革和循证政策相结合的方式应对这一顽疾。她特别强调国家反非法采矿行动秘书处（NAIMOS）的机制化运作，该机构与国家安全部门保持紧密协作。

"打击非法采金行动已取得可观成效和实质性进展。截至目前已逮捕约 1500 人，其中包括外籍人员，并查获大量采矿设备。" 她列举的数据印证了政府行动的切实效果。

Odoom 博士还赞扬了关键法律改革举措，包括废除《LI 2462 号立法文书》，该法令彻底禁止了森林保护区内所有形式的采矿活动。

"数据显示这些区域非法采矿减少了 80%，近 90% 的森林保护区现已得到保护。林业委员会的法定职权也已全面恢复。" Odoom 博士补充道。

关于循证干预措施，她提到政府专门成立部长级委员会制定可持续采矿蓝图，该委员会提出了强有力的建议。此外还出台了挖掘机进口管制措施，旨在遏制非法采矿活动。

"这些举措表明，马哈马政府正通过战略部署、执法行动和政策改革三管齐下，有效遏制非法采金行为，守护国家自然资源。" Odoom 博士总结道。

Mahama Gov’t Shows Progress in Galamsey Fight – Environmental Scientist

The John Mahama administration has demonstrated renewed determination in tackling illegal mining, with visible progress in protecting Ghana’s forest reserves, according to Dr Ekua Odoom, Environmental Scientist at the University of Ghana’s Institute of Environmental and Sanitation Studies.

Assessing the government’s one-year performance on Channel One TV on Tuesday, she stated that the administration is combining military enforcement, legal reforms, and evidence-based policies to address the menace.

Dr. Odoom highlighted the institutionalisation of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS), which works in close collaboration with national security agencies.

“There has been appreciable visibility and clear action in fighting galamsey. So far, about 1,500 arrests have been made, including foreign nationals, alongside the seizure of mining equipment,” she said, pointing to the tangible impact of the government’s operations.

She also praised key legal reforms, including the repeal of LI 2462, which effectively banned all forms of mining in forest reserves.

“Statistics show an 80% reduction in illegal mining within these areas, and nearly 90% of forest reserves are now protected. The mandate of the Forest Commission has also been fully reinstated,” Dr Odoom added.

On evidence-based interventions, she noted that the government commissioned a ministerial committee to develop a blueprint for sustainable mining, which produced strong recommendations.

Additionally, measures have been introduced to regulate the importation of excavators, aimed at controlling illegal mining activities.

“These steps demonstrate that the Mahama government is combining strategy, enforcement, and policy reforms to curb galamsey and safeguard the country’s natural resources,” Dr Odoom added.
