“…Environmental pollution is typical of not only industrial and densely populated territories [1][2][3], but also tourism-important landscapes [4][5][6] and protected areas [7,8]. A novel category of public establishments, which share touristic and conservation features, has appeared recently, namely, geoparks [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Dozens of geoparks have been created in the world since the beginning of the 21st century. Their environmental impact is yet to be fully understood. A bibliographical survey was undertaken to systematically review the journal articles devoted to environmental pollution in geoparks. The considered literature focuses on 10 geoparks (many of them are the members of the UNESCO Global Geoparks network) from eight countries, namely, China, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, and South Korea. Significant pollution was registered in half of these geoparks. Trace metals and metalloids such as arsenic and cadmium are often reported as pollutants. Water pollution is the most common. In many cases, environmental pollution is not related to geoparks, but results from agricultural and industrial activities. Sometimes, this pollution is inherited from past mining activities, and the latter are related to the geoheritage represented in the geoparks. However, there are also examples of pollution triggered by tourist activities in geoparks and the related infrastructural failures. Various mitigation approaches are considered in the literature (establishing monitoring networks, installing filtration membranes, etc.). It is argued that environmental pollution can be used in geoparks for eco-education and eco-awareness initiatives. Research in environmental pollution in geoparks is an emerging field, and does not avoid multiple biases. Nonetheless, the actual importance of this research is undisputable, and it will be demanded in the future.

“…In their study, they suggested for sustainable mining through control measures imposed by the government on mining activities. Unprecedented urbanization, which also degrades the environment, is also incorporated in a nonlinear modeling study undertaken by Tandon and Jyotsna (). In this study, they investigated the impact of pollution, intensified by urbanization, on human population.…”

The study investigates the sustainability of an urban system in the presence of haphazard urban development taking place in cities, through the use of nonlinear model system Natural Resource Modeling. 2018;31:e12163. wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/nrm • The admissible amount of control over urban development through government intervention is necessary for the orderly development of urban areas in harmony with natural environment. This would also help in protecting forest resources and, therefore, on the survival of its dependent population. • Urban forestry should be practiced, where emphasis should be on plantation of such vegetation, trees, and shrubs, etc., which have the pollution tolerating and mitigating abilities. • In order to establish sustainable urban system, urban development activities should harmonize the people and the environment, while taking proper advantage of abundant natural resources.

“…Mathematical models have been recognized as effective tools to analyze the interactive dynamics of growing population and various development activities like industrialization and urbanization with forest ecosystems. In this direction, various investigations have been carried out through the use of nonlinear mathematical models involving dynamical variables (Agarwal, Fatima, & Freedman, ; Dubey, , ; Dubey & Das, ; Dubey & Hussain, ; Dubey, Upadhyay, & Hussain, ; Dubey, Sharma, Sinha, & Shukla, ; Misra & Lata, ; Misra, Lata, & Shukla, , ; Shukla et al., ; Shukla, Lata, & Misra, ; Shukla, Misra, Agarwal, & Shukla, ; Tandon & Jyotsna, ). However, there are very few studies related to mathematical modeling, which take into account the role of wildlife population on forest ecosystems (Agarwal et al., ; Agarwal & Pathak, ).…”

Keeping human-wildlife conflicts in mind, that are taking place as a result of shrinking forest area due to overgrowing human population and consequently, due to augmentation of mining projects in the forest region, here, a nonlinear mathematical model is developed. The model is formulated under the assumption that continuously growing human population and its increasing demands impose population pressure on the environment, which results into augmentation of mining activities in the forest region. The model is analyzed qualitatively for boundedness, existence, and stability of equilibrium points, along with permanence of the model system. Quantitative analysis is also being performed by evaluating the numerical solutions of the model and analyzing them through graphical illustrations. The model analysis demonstrates that in order to have permanent model system, the growth of forest resources should be large as compared to their utilization for wildlife and human population. K E Y W O R D S forest resources, Holling type-II, human population, mining activities, permanence, stability, wildlife population Natural Resource Modeling. 2017;30:e12139. wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/nrm Summary for Managers• It is important to understand that human-wildlife conflict is one of the serious implications of the impact generated through population pressure-induced mining activities on forest resources and wildlife population.• With the continuous depletion of forest resources, due to growth of mining activities in the region, the extinction of forest resources could take place and the survival of forest resource-dependent wildlife population comes under risk. Therefore, forests, which are natural habitats for wildlife species, should be protected.• Control measures on rampant mining activities through government intervention are required in order to protect forest resources from being unsustainably overharvested.• Proper planning of mining activities in a forest region should be implemented in order to develop balanced forest ecosystem, where the human and wildlife population can live in perfect harmony. * 1 ,
