Environment. When they mine for gold and silver it may ruin

the environment. Which mean that the animals who habitat that was that’s once had a beautiful enchanting home now is homeless. Mining may also cause deforestation. Which again means that they are giving these amazingly homeless animals no place to live , which I myself find extremely sorrowful and downhearted. When people mine they don’t even clean up they just sometimes leave things how they are , or fill the whole back up once they are done. Meaning again those poor animals have no home anymore.
