Abstract

Minerals greatly influence the economic growth of any country. However, extensive mining can adversely affect the natural environment in the form of loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, contamination of surface and ground water. Therefore, restoration and reclamation of mined sites become priority areas of intervention.

The foresters need to align their activities in line with the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration during 2021-2030.
