Lots of discussion in Ghana at the moment about galamsey (in short, illegal gold-mining, but there is more complexity of course!). Causing destruction of cocoa farms (often without owner's consent!) and also ancient/semi-natural forest fragments. Solution is going to be complex and multilayered, but in the meantime it's another challenge for a cocoa sector already under stress.
