- Coal is a crucial energy source in India, primarily used for thermal power generation, with the study focusing on how coal mining contributes to land degradation in Chirimiri, Chhattisgarh.
- Satellite data analysis from 2000 to 2020 revealed significant loss of forests (48.9%) and waterbodies (37.6%) due to mining activities, leading to a marked increase in degraded land and built-up areas.
- The study emphasizes the importance of effective eco-restoration initiatives to combat soil health decline and enhance resilience against land degradation in coal-mined regions.
