Gold for Cash
Did you know that the global demand for gold has put
some of the remotest and most pristine forests at risk? Scientists have warned
about the serious environmental problems arising because of incessant mining
for gold.
Studies show that about 1680 sq km of rainforest in
South America was lost to gold mining between 2001 and 2013. Researchers at
University of Puerto Rico have also affirmed that gold mining has become a big
threat to ancient rainforests in countries like Peru and Suriname. The research
which was published in Environmental Research Letters had studied tropical
forests across South America and covered the regions in Colombia, Venezuela,
Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.
The clearing of forests for gold mining had accelerated
after the global financial crises in 2007 according to the satellite images
observed. It has also been reported that while the loss of forest cover due to
gold mining was much smaller than clearing of land for other purposes, the
deforestation for gold occurred in some of the most biologically diverse areas
of the tropical forests.
Global gold production increased from about 2445
tonnes in the year 2000 to 2770 tonnes in 2013 and the prices too went high in
the same period. This made it more profitable to mine for gold in areas of
tropical forests.
Consumers can help in preventing environmental
degradation by buying only fair-trade and recycled gold. And the ones who have
unusable gold in form of broken jewellery, nuggets, bars, old coins can sell it
as scrap. Not only does it help them make cash that can be used for other
purposes, it promotes recycling of gold and eventually protects the
environment.
Thanks to the high prices of gold even today, selling
gold for cash to a genuine buyer can help in making real good money.
