    Illegal mining is mining activity undertaken without permission from the state, including lacking land rights or mining/exploration permits. It can cause erosion that threatens surface infrastructure, severe environmental degradation of water, soil and air that harms human health, and decline of wildlife and plant species. The causes of illegal mining include the desire for material goods and lack of employment opportunities, while prevention could involve protecting susceptible areas and replenishing the environment. Philippine law instituted a system for sustainable mining exploration and conservation.
