Gold Rush Threat for Tropical Forests

Sell gold for cash Toronto -  Silver and 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.
