The goal of land reclamation of mining sites is to restore the land to its pre-mining condition or to a condition that is suitable and sustainable for future use. This involves reshaping and regrading the land, stabilizing the soil, and restoring vegetation and habitats. The ultimate objective is to mitigate the environmental impact caused by mining activities, conserve biodiversity, and provide a safe and productive land for various purposes such as agriculture, forestry, recreation, or even new developments. Land reclamation also aims to improve water quality, prevent erosion, and minimize the potential for contamination of soil and water resources. Additionally, it helps in the restoration of ecosystems and the enhancement of wildlife habitat by creating a functional and diverse landscape.
