Mining and socio-ecological systems: A systematic review of Sub-Saharan Africa

Predicting the potential impacts of climate change on the endangered endemic annonaceae species in east africa

“…There are several other ecological factors that, alone or in combination with climate change, influence species distribution patterns, for example, rapid population growth has resulted in excessive logging, conversion of forestlands to farmland, urban development programs, and over-exploitation [ 90 , 91 ]. Similar ecological disturbances have been documented in EA, where mining and agricultural products account for the majority of people's income [ 92 , 93 ]. These ecological factors, along with climate change, may be sufficient to explain the distribution pattern of the endemic Annonaceae species along the EA coastline.…”

FinTech revolution in mineral management: Exploring the nexus between technology adoption and sustainable Resource utilization in an industry 4.0 context

“…From an environmental perspective, however, the positive association between TIR and the mineral depletion rate raises concerns about the potential environmental impacts of increased mining activities. Higher mining rates could strain natural ecosystems more, lead to habitat destruction, and exacerbate environmental degradation [ 79 ]. Therefore, it is essential to balance the benefits of improved technological infrastructure with the need for responsible and sustainable mining practices to mitigate the adverse environmental effects.…”

“…In context of globalization and rapid urbanization, there is an irreversible loss of traditional knowledge (Fischer et al, 2022;Takam et al, 2022), and young generations are the most at risk of losing this knowledge, especially those living in urban area and believe less in tradition (Brosi et al, 2007). Consequently, the practice of giving cows as dowries slowly disappears.…”
