Abstract Mining is a sector of activity essential in global economic development. These metals and minerals extracted by the mining industry are integrated in several consumer goods. Given the increase in the population and the demand for these goods, the mining industry is growing globally from a few decades. This type of industry is responsible for several impacts during each phase of the mining process. In particular, it is during the exploitation phase that the natural ecosystems, located above the deposits, are destroyed by the elimination of soil and vegetation and the establishment of storage sites for discharge mining. Thus, the extraction of mineral resources has a definite duration, whereas the associated environmental impacts can be visible indefinitely if no corrective measures are taken. This is why, when extraction is complete, the restoration phase is just as important as it addresses these impacts by rebuilding new ecosystems and giving the site a natural look through revegetation. Responsible catering also ensures that the positive social and economic impacts of mining are sustainable for future generations. Keywords Mining environment, Natural ecosystems, Restoration of mining sites
1 Introduction The society is dependent on the mines that supply it with the minerals and metals needed to make things that we use every day, such as trucks, ATVs, boats, and homes. Mineral and metal products can easily be recognized in our daily lives. Copper cabling in our homes, nickel in our stainless steel sinks,
