While there is much anecdotal information about the impact of mining on forests, no comprehensive review of minerals as a forest risk commodity has yet been undertaken. Indications are that mining activities are an important driver of deforestation in many countries, and that the impact of mineral extraction on forest resources is likely to increase with growing global demand

Mining has always been an environmentally disruptive activity, but contemporary extractive industries are located in some of the most ecologically sensitive forests in the boreal and the tropics. Oil, gas, and mineral extraction account for an estimated 7% of global deforestation in the subtropics, with increasing exploration and development taking place in the Amazon and Congo basins.
