People like gold. When the gold was found, people went to be near the gold.
People flocked to California because they were seeking gold and riches, and gold had been discovered there. The Mormons changed the landscape of the west by moving there and establishing cities and towns in areas that were previously uninhabited.
Alluvial gold mining left the environment cleared and razed in many places, as large amounts of bushland were cleared for gold mining to take place. This caused some loss of habitat for native animals. In addition, "mullock heaps" (consisiting of the tailings) were left behind to scar the landscape.
