Eco rehabilitation of degraded coal mines through forestry: A comprehensive review

Prakriti Shahdeo & Shambhu Mishra

ABSTRACT:

The environmental degradation caused by coal mining has raised global concerns, prompting the need for sustainable and innovative approaches to restore these degraded landscapes. Eco rehabilitation, mainly through forestry practices, has emerged as a promising solution. This review paper aims to comprehensively examine the principles, methodologies, challenges, and ecological benefits of eco rehabilitation in degraded coal mines using forestry techniques. By analysing a wide range of scientific literature and case studies, we highlight the potential of forestry-based eco rehabilitation as a means to not only remediate the damage but also promote biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and socio-economic development in mining-affected regions.
