For centuries, denuded landscapes, fouled streams, and dirty air
were accepted by society as part of the price that had to be paid
for mineral production. Even initial environmental legislation
devised by industrialized countries in the 1960s and 1970s was
largely designed without mining in mind. And developing countries
had little in the way of environmental policy. With the advent of
sustainability in the 1990s, times have changed. Today's economic
development, many now feel, must not come at the expense of an
environmentally degraded future. Current policies toward mining are
under rigorous review, and mineral-rich developing countries are
designing environmental policies where none existed before. In
Mining and the Environment, noted analysts offer viewpoints from
Australia, Chile, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the
European community on issues and challenges of metal mining.
