Скачать или смотреть Deforestation Due to Mining in India

Odisha and Jharkhand are among India’s richest states in minerals such as coal, iron ore, bauxite, and manganese. Extensive mining activities in these regions have led to large-scale deforestation, as forests are cleared to make way for open-pit mines, mining infrastructure, and transportation routes. This deforestation has caused loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and disruption of local ecosystems. Tribal and rural communities, who depend on forests for their livelihoods, are particularly affected, losing access to food, water, and traditional resources. The situation underscores the urgent need for sustainable mining practices that balance economic growth with forest conservation and community welfare. #mining #deforestation #india #jharkhand #orissa
