Abstract

Currently, mining conflicts in Amazonian ecosystems cause negative impacts on biodiversity and society. Therefore, this review aimed to describe the way in which mining conflicts affect ecosystems and was developed under the PRISMA methodology approach, which is based on the identification, selection and evaluation of studies related to the topic. We worked with databases such as Dialnet, EBSCOhost, IOPscience, ProQuest, SciELO, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, SpringerLink, ResearchGate, Repository - TDX, Taylor and Francis Group and Wiley Online Library; the research was selected based on inclusion criteria such as period, language and relationship with the study variables and that it contains IMRD structure. It was determined that informal mining with 54% covers the largest territorial extension, occupied by native and indigenous populations, generating impacts on regulation, support and provision services, due to illegal logging, use of toxic inputs and drilling of extractive wells, since there is no adequate land use planning or participatory dialogue. Soil, water and air are affected with 52%, 42% and 6%, respectively. The conclusion is that the environmental surroundings are affected by mining activities.
