This book is the result of careful research by a young Malian. It deals with the questions relating to the legal protection of soils in the face of mining in Mali in the light of international environmental law. Today, soil protection is undoubtedly the Gordian knot of our century characterized by economic productivism, even though 2015 was declared "the year of the soil". Thus, he takes a very critical look at the implementation of the soil protection norms of the International Environmental Law in the Malian mining law. Indeed, the last of the intellectuals is not without knowing that mining activity is not without harmful consequences on the environment, in this case the soil. The author studies, criticizes and proposes strategies to not only protect the soil but also to reduce the impacts generated on the soil as a result of mining in Mali. This implies that this work gives a new breath to the scientific world characterized by a lack of publications in the said field.
