Overmining refers to the excessive extraction of Natural Resources, such as minerals or fossil fuels, beyond sustainable levels. This practice can lead to significant environmental degradation, including habitat destruction, soil erosion, and pollution, as well as economic issues like resource depletion. Overmining often occurs when short-term profits are prioritized over long-term ecological and community health. Sustainable mining practices aim to balance resource extraction with environmental and social considerations to mitigate these negative impacts.
