The environmental impact of mining on land ecosystems is significant, resulting in habitat destruction, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. Mining activities often involve the removal of vegetation and topsoil, disrupting the natural ecosystem and leading to the degradation of wildlife habitats. Additionally, mining can lead to water pollution from toxic runoff, affecting nearby water sources and species. Long-term consequences include altered landscape, soil degradation, and challenges in ecosystem recovery. Sustainable practices and rehabilitation efforts are vital to minimize these impacts and restore affected ecosystems.
