Land Use and Mining

Land use refers to how people utilize land for various purposes like housing, agriculture, industry, and recreation, balancing development with environmental preservation. Mining involves extracting minerals, metals, or resources from the earth, often creating pits, tunnels, or open-cut operations. While mining provides essential materials for everyday goods and infrastructure, it can significantly impact the environment, wildlife, and local communities. Responsible land use planning and sustainable mining practices aim to minimize these impacts, ensuring resources are used efficiently without compromising ecological health and future needs.
