Afghanistan's Gold Rush Causes Environmental Damage and Farmland Loss

Afghanistan's Gold Rush Causes Environmental Damage and Farmland Loss

In Afghanistan's Badakhshan province, a gold rush is underway, leading to significant environmental degradation and loss of farmland. Thousands of miners are working in the Shiwa area, extracting gold for investors across the country. The Taliban authorities have expanded the mining sector as a means to increase state revenue. This expansion has resulted in job creation but has also caused widespread ecological damage. Villagers in the region report that rivers are being polluted and farmland is being lost due to the extensive excavation activities. According to Abdul Mateen Rahimzai, head of Badakhshan's mines department, nearly 650 to 700 companies are registered, with thousands of people working manually in the mines. The World Bank has noted that hundreds of mining contracts have been signed since 2021, with real growth in the sector averaging 25 to 30 percent annually.
