The extraction of raw materials and the dumping of waste have a negative impact on nature reserves. These nature areas are important for the preservation of ecosystem services (as explained above), natural and cultural heritage. At the moment, many governments and organisations are mainly involved in protecting nature from extraction and the dumping of raw materials and waste. In order to systematically preserve nature, this extraction and dumping must stop in general. This is achieved within the circular economy (SYKE, 2018).
