Indirect impact of mining, on the other hand, has commonly been assumed to extend 50 to 70 km beyond the boundaries of mining areas (24, 39, 40) and we therefore decided to use a 50-km buffer to assess potential indirect impact of mining on African great apes. We would like to emphasize that these boundaries do not serve as a …

1. Introduction. Mining is one of few industries that change entire landscapes, making it the source of a variety of impacts (see Bebbington et al., 2008; Mudd, 2010).These impacts are geographical in nature, as mines are unevenly distributed around the world and disproportionately affect the communities or ecosystems nearest to them …

6. Acid Mine Drainage. To know how critical the effects of mining on the environment are, take a look at acid mine drainage. Since sub-surface mining frequently takes place below the water table, flooding must be constantly avoided by pumping water out of the mine. When a mine is closed, the pumping stops, and the mine is flooded with water.
