The goal of land reclamation of mining sites is primarily to restore environmental vitality to land degraded from mining. This involves rehabilitating ecosystems, improving soil quality, and ensuring that the land can support plant and animal life again, thereby enhancing its ecological and aesthetic value. Other goals may include creating a commercial use for the land and reclaiming its value, but the main focus is on environmental restoration.
