Mining pollution, particularly habitat destruction, has far-reaching consequences for wildlife and, ultimately, human life. This blog post delves into the specific types of wildlife affected, the displacement of animals, the threat to endangered species, and how these impacts resonate throughout the environment and our daily lives.
Urbanization and the expansion of transportation networks significantly transform landscapes, often detrimentally affecting wildlife. In urban areas, this growth leads to the fragmentation and displacement of natural habitats, which, in turn, isolates wildlife populations and increases the risk of Wildlife–Vehicle Collisions (WVCs) in urban areas [].
Odisha geographically resides over the Chota Nagpur plateau region, which is famous for mineral reserves, especially coal, bauxite, iron ore, manganese, dolomite, etc. Most of the mining projects in Odisha were constructed in areas dominated by the tribal or cohesive communities leading to displacement of people from their homeland.

Since the onset of hydraulic gold mining in California's Sierra Nevada foothills in 1852, the environmental damage caused by displacement and storage of hydraulic mining sediment (HMS) has been a significant ecological problem downstream. Large volumes of mercury-laden HMS from the Yuba River watershed were deposited within the river corridor, …
These chemicals can contaminate soil and water bodies, posing serious health risks to wildlife and human populations nearby. Contamination of Natural Environment: Mining can contaminate the natural environment, affecting air and water quality. Dust, heavy metals, and other pollutants released during mining operations can have detrimental ...
Displacement of Wildlife • Removing soil from a surface mine site strips away all plant life. With their natural habitat removed, animals will leave the area. • A good development plan to reclaim a mine site can ensure that the displacement of wildlife is temporary. • Dredging a river disturbs river bottoms and destroys aquatic life.
Maintaining human wellbeing and the benefits of ES to people requires a comprehensive assessment of threats posed by mining activities. Current literature emphasises a strong focus on the environmental and social impacts of mining, often due to land degradation (Simmons et al., 2008; Townsend et al., 2009), biodiversity loss (Butt et al., 2013; Harfoot et …
The fate of the Khoisan should resonate deeply with the colonial displacement and the impacts of mining industries experienced by Indigenous peoples across Canada. The displacement of the Khoisan recalls the struggle of First Nations against the Diavik mine in Canada's Northwest Territories.

Though there are significant economic benefits of mining, however, mining can also cause severe negative environmental impacts such as contamination of water bodies, air pollution, land degradation, and damage to biodiversity (Cordy et al., 2011) as well as social impacts such as mass migration, displacement of people and properties, the spread ...
Hydrosocial displacement refers to the idea that resolving water conflict in one area can shift the conflict to a different area. The concept was coined by Scott Odell, a visiting researcher in MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative (ESI). As part of ESI's Program on Mining and the Circular Economy, Odell researches the impacts of ...

For three decades now the field of road ecology has brought to light the impacts that roads and road networks have on the landscape, its wildlife, and subsequent ecosystem stability [1, 2].This paper presents seminal reviews from associating the presence of roads with the direct mortality of wildlife, hindering wildlife movement both physically and behaviorally, …
Gold Rush Led to Major Increase in Mining in California. California has deposits of hundreds of different mineral commodities (such as gold, silver, tungsten, and boron) that have been mined over the state's history. Small‑scale mining was well established in Southern California under Spanish and Mexican rule, but the disco…
The environmental fallout from lithium mining is clear and far-reaching. Massive quantities of fresh water, classified as a precious resource in these arid regions, are diverted for lithium mining operations, fueling the salt …
the potential impact of gold mining on flora and wildlife. — Analysis shows that large-scale gold mining (LSGM), which accounts for about 80 % of global gold mine production, also causes environmental problems. In general, LSGM impacts tend to be locally concentrated and massive as deposits are mined over longer periods of time. Due to

Mining induced displacement has increased significantly as coal production has shifted from underground to opencast mining (Singh 2007). As per the Ministry of Coal (2005), more than 80 per cent ...
2. The many ways mining activities impact biodiversity. Mining affects biodiversity at multiple spatial scales (site, landscape, regional and global) through direct (i.e. mineral extraction) and indirect processes (via industries supporting mining operations, and external stakeholders who gain access to biodiversity-rich areas as the result of mining).
This displacement led to changes in local ecosystems and increased competition for resources among wildlife. Pollution: Mining operations released heavy metals and other pollutants into …
