Sažetak
Environmental protection ensures the complete preservation of environmental quality by individual environmental components (soil, water, air, nature) and the preservation of natural resources and their rational use as a basic condition for sustainable development. Croatia is not particularly rich in mineral resources, but exploration and exploitation, as a primary activity in each country's economy, is of great importance. The exploitation of mineral resources is one of the activities that significantly affect the soil, relief, flora and fauna and partially or completely alter the original complete and recognizable image of the landscape. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyse anthropogenic agents and the environmental impact of the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in order to raise awareness of how important our role in environmental protection is. It is important to emphasize that the implementation of existing laws and regulations related to the preservation of environmental quality and environmental components will preserve the existing state of the environment and reduce the adverse impact of the exploitation of mineral resources. The research methodology in this paper was based on theoretical research, which was based on the analysis of data obtained from the competent and public government bodies, as well as inductive - deductive data analysis in order to show the existing state of mineral resources in the Republic of Croatia and its environmental impact. Predictions and rapid depletion of solid minerals have not materialized (this does not apply to oil and gas whose estimated reserves are limited), so mining will be able to meet the energy sector's needs for mineral resources in the future, with a strong emphasis on environmental protection. Environmental protection has become a strong limiting factor in the excavation of mineral resources.
