Toxic Gold: the heavy toll of Ghana's illegal gold rush
In Ghana, journalists investigating the proliferation of illegal gold mining have suffered abductions, beatings or death threats during their reporting.
Forbidden Stories and its partners investigated the consequences of this illegal gold industry on the right to information and the environment, as well as the international supply chains fueling it.
This is our first investigation in the new #GreenCrimes series, focused on environmental crimes.
