Small-scale surface mining is one of the greatest agents of land degradation, destroying about 13% of the total forested land that surface mining has destroyed in Ghana. A study revealed that surface mining resulted in about 58% deforestation and a substantial 45% loss of farmland within the western region of Ghana. In some places, riverbanks are mined to a depth of 35 m expanding to about 60
