Abstract
This paper explains mining induced environmental degradation, its causes and consequences, and discusses the importance of ecosocial work in addressing this global problem. Mining activities cause various forms of environmental degradation such as deforestation, water pollution, soil erosion and biodiversity loss. In addition to causing ecological destruction, these forms of environmental degradation disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, deepening existing inequalities. Ecosocial work has the potential to provide a valuable framework for understanding these impacts. Ecosocial work that focuses on these inequalities can provide an important framework for working with individuals, groups, families and communities where environmental degradation occurs.

Abstract
Bu makale, madencilik kaynaklı çevresel bozulmayı, bu bozulmanın nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını incelemekte ve bu küresel sorunun ele alınmasında ekososyal çalışmanın önemini açıklamaktadır. Madencilik faaliyetleri; ormansızlaşma, su kirliliği, toprak erozyonu ve biyoçeşitlilik kaybı gibi çeşitli çevresel bozulma biçimlerine neden olmaktadır. Bu çevresel bozulma biçimleri ekolojik yıkıma neden olmasının yanı sıra savunmasız nüfusları orantısız bir şekilde etkileyerek mevcut eşitsizlikleri derinleştirmektedir. Ekososyal çalışma, bu etkileri anlamak için değerli bir çerçeve sunma potansiyeline sahiptir. Bu eşitsizlikleri odağına alan ekososyal çalışma çevresel bozulmaların ortaya çıktığı yerde bireyle, grupla, aileyle ve toplumla çalışma yapılmasında önemli bir çerçeve sağlayabilir.
