The goal of land reclamation of mining sites is primarily to restore environmental vitality to land degraded from mining. This involves rehabilitating the damaged land to support ecosystems and wildlife, improve soil quality, and potentially allow for safe human use. While other options like maximizing profits or creating commercial use may be secondary considerations, the primary focus is on environmental restoration.
