Requires a common view between natural resources and mining
Unfortunately, different organizations in the field of natural resources are more neutral in opposing each other's behavior and performance. There is no single directive, and as a result, the areas to be determined are abandoned, while the natural resources and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade must come to a common conclusion so that they can act optimally and find solutions for recycling, effluents and mine reconstruction.
According to the International Exhibition of Iranian Stone, the relationship between the environment and mining in our country is a matter of taste, and in this regard, unfortunately, there is no professional and standard statement for different regions of the country. To solve this problem, we need to estimate how much damage we have done to the environment, what orders have been issued, and how well those orders have been complied with.
If we look at other countries, we see that they have mined in the middle of the forest and there are no problems for them, but what is important is that the mine is defined there and its establishment is done by evaluation. In fact, the world has come to understand that the earth must behave in a way that does not harm its fertility; So we have to follow the same path.
In the meantime, the government must clean itself; Like in Turkey, when a person is given a mining license, the government clears the area and delivers it to the miner.
Note that in mineral activity, waste of natural resources is not limited to tree felling. When we remove 20 percent of the area's soil as mining, we waste another 80 percent and do nothing to rebuild that area.
Everywhere in the world, anyone engaged in mining pays tolls on natural resources and the environment, but this is not the case in Iran. If a miner cuts down trees somewhere, he has to plant several times as many trees elsewhere, but this does not happen in practice.
Unfortunately, different organizations in the field of natural resources are more neutral in opposing each other's behavior and performance. There is no single guideline, so the areas that need to be determined are abandoned, while the natural resources and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade have to come up with a single result so that they can work optimally and think of ways to recycle, waste and rebuild mines.
