mining conflict

Mining conflict refers to disputes that arise between mining companies, local communities, governments, and environmental groups over the extraction of mineral resources. These conflicts often involve issues such as land rights, environmental impact, and economic benefits, with communities seeking to protect their land and way of life while companies aim to access resources for profit. Such conflicts can lead to social unrest, legal battles, and environmental degradation, highlighting the need for fair negotiation, responsible practices, and sustainable development to balance economic interests with social and environmental concerns.
