Many of these commodities are found in critical forest landscapes, placing forests at increased risk as demand for minerals increases. This paper explores the mining sector’s impacts on forests, and the potential for ‘forestsmart’ mining policies and Exploring potential impacts of mining on forest loss and ,Forests covered approximately 73% of the Jari sector and 85% of Serra do Navio sector in 2014 (Fig. 5) and these regions lost 280 km 2 and 317 km 2 of forest

Active coal mining affects 1.74 million ha of forest land according to the Indonesian nongovernmental organization Auriga, and future permits threaten 8.6 million ha, around 9% of Indonesia’s remaining total forest cover . Over 1.1 million ha of designated “conservation” and “protection” forest is currently allocated to coalminingA pantropical assessment of deforestation caused by ,The impacts of industrial mining on forest loss can also be illustrated on a spatially explicit level by considering the distance of each grid cell to the nearest mine (Fig. 3B). These maps for three selected mining regions in Brazil, the DRC, and Indonesia thus illustrate the importance of mininginduced deforestation in total forest loss in
We gathered data on both proximate (direct) and underlying (indirect) drivers of deforestation. Direct drivers, identified as human activities that directly affect forest cover, results in the reduction of carbon stocks as well (Kissinger et al. 2012).Indirect drivers—complex, socioeconomic, cultural, political and technological processes—have Growing mining contribution to Colombian deforestation,Here, using highresolution datasets of forest cover changes and detailed geospatial mining data for Colombia, we show a growing contribution of legal mining to national deforestation: 3.4% over the 2001– period, with a peak at 5.6% in . During this period, around 121 819 ha have been deforested inside legal mining concessions,

However, we can combine data on the extent of industrial mining areas (Maus et al., ) with data on forest loss from Global Forest Watch to estimate direct impacts on forest coverage within mining areas. The figure below shows the direct loss of tropical forests
