sustainability in mining

Sustainability in mining means extracting minerals and resources in ways that meet current needs without harming the environment, society, or future generations. It involves minimizing environmental impact, such as reducing pollution and conserving water, while ensuring safe working conditions and respecting local communities. Sustainable mining also includes rehabilitating land once mining activities are finished, so ecosystems can recover. The goal is to balance economic benefits with environmental protection and social responsibility, ensuring that mining activities support long-term well-being for both people and the planet.
