| description | The sustainable exploitation of natural stone resources poses a multifaceted dilemma that lies at the confluence of environmental protection and the preservation of cultural heritage. This study explores the complex interplay between the exploitation and use of natural stone resources, the consequent environmental ramifications, and the necessity of preserving cultural legacy for posterity. The procurement of natural stone resources, although being indispensable for the purposes of building, architecture, and artistic endeavours, sometimes gives rise to substantial ecological ramifications. Quarrying activities have been found to result in a range of detrimental consequences, including deforestation, soil erosion, water pollution, and habitat destruction. The intricate equilibrium between the preservation of natural resources and their utilisation necessitates the implementation of inventive approaches to minimise ecological harm and save cultural heritage. In order to effectively tackle these difficulties, it is imperative to adopt a holistic strategy. The use of circular economy concepts has the potential to significantly improve the utilisation of stone resources in a more effective manner. The preservation of cultural heritage necessitates thorough documentation, continuous monitoring, and proper care, as well as the use of protective coatings and materials that effectively minimise degradation while preserving the aesthetic and historical significance. This study argues for the cohabitation of natural stone extraction with cultural heritage preservation by examining the intersection of environmental issues and cultural relevance. |
