MONROVIA – A group of illicit miners have evaded the Gola Forest National Park carrying on dredge mining in violation of the law establishing the Park.
The use of dredge in the National Reserve comes at the time the Liberian Government through the Ministry of Mines and Energy banned the dredge mining in the country.
An investigation conducted by the Environmental Media Group, Journalists for the Protection of Nature (JPN-Liberia), has confirmed the situation.
The mining is taking place on the Mano River that stretches through the Grand Cape Mount side of the Gola Forest National Park.
