The world has a finite volume or natural resources and a limited ability to produce new resources. Extraction and processing of materials, fuels and food causes 50 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and 90 per cent of biodiversity loss and water stress. Our production and consumption are unsustainable with natural resource use tripling

The continual extraction and use of natural resources do not result in their being completely “used up,” but eventually, the costs of extracting a diminishing resource exceed the value of the resource; barring improvements in extraction technologies, the resource is as good as gone.

Resource extraction refers to activities that involve withdrawing materials from the natural environment. Logging is one example of resource extraction. If not done in a sustainable manner, logging extracts trees and their removal causes other changes that can result in soil and nutrient removal from the logged area.

Jun 17, 2013 . Conventional natural gas wells, which sometimes use the same technique, are commonly located in the same general area as the Marcellus Shale and are frequently developed in clusters across the landscape. The combined effects of these two natural gas extraction methods create potentially serious patterns of disturbance on the landscape.

Natural resource extraction includes activities dedicated to the recovery of sand, gravel, rock, oil, natural gas, and other natural materials that are obtained by excavation, drilling, boring, or other methods.
Further water withdrawals take The extraction, trade and economic utilisation of raw materials also require the use of other natural resources. Water is used during the extraction of raw materials, for example through irrigation of agricultural land or as a processing solution and coolant in mining operations.
Efforts to minimize the environmental damage of resource extraction can be challenging, as the economic benefits of activities such as logging, mining, and the oil sands are considerable.
Unused material extraction is also of great relevance, as it illustrates the scale of additional human intervention in the natural environment. For example, lignite mining which the landscape of entire regions is altered and habitats destroyed (→Boxes).

Geosyntec is a consulting and engineering firm that works with private and public sector clients to address new ventures and complex problems involving our environment, natural resources, and civil infrastructure.
The abrupt and/or excessive removal of vegetation from resource extraction sites can increase leaching of nutrients from the soil into surface and groundwater, disrupting the nitrogen cycle. Excessive nutrient loads can greatly accelerate the process of eutrophication for water bodies.
Sediment: Resource extraction activities can result in exposed soil, steep embankments, and deep holes or ruts in the ground which leads to sedimentation. Sedimentation is the erosion of mineral or organic solid material acted upon by water, ice, wind, or other processes.
