Artisanal mining is associated with a number of
environmental impacts, which are deforestation and
land degradation, open pits which pose animal traps
and health hazards, and mercury pollution, dust and
noise pollution. A large proportion of artisanal miners
are unaware of the laws governing mining activities
and the environment.
