The development and utilization of mining resources are essential requirements for socio-economic development. At the same time, the ecological impacts of the exploitation and utilization of mining resources have increasingly aroused the widespread concern of the international community. This paper uses Landsat images, high-resolution images, and nighttime light (NTL) data to remotely monitor Sino Iron in Australia and Taldybulak Levoberezhny in Kyrgyzstan in different development periods to provide a reference for the rational development of mineral resources and environmental management. The results show that the Chinese enterprises have achieved good results in the ecological protection of the mining area during the construction period. The development of the mine has caused minor damage to the surrounding environment and has not destroyed the local natural ecological pattern. The different NTL indices show an overall rising trend, indicating that the construction of mines has dramatically promoted the socio-economic development of countries along the Belt and Road in both time and space. Therefore, relevant departments should practice green development in overseas projects, establish a scientific mine governance system, and promote a win-win economic growth and environmental governance situation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14143308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]],"date-time":"2022-07-11T00:06:21Z","timestamp":1657497981000},"page":"3308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Remote Sensing Monitoring of Ecological-Economic Impacts in the Belt and Road Initiatives Mining Project: A Case Study in Sino Iron and Taldybulak Levoberezhny"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4965-7276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yue","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental and Geographical Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7974-6408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenpeng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental and Geographical Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China"},{"name":"Yangtze River Delta Urban Wetland Ecosystem National Field Observation and Research Station, Shanghai 200234, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1075-5434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingquan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental and Geographical Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China"},{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China"}]},{"given":"Xumiao","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental and Geographical Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental and Geographical Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China"},{"name":"Yangtze River Delta Urban Wetland Ecosystem National Field Observation and Research Station, Shanghai 200234, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128758","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2021.128758","article-title":"Research on the Carbon Emission Effect of the Seven Regions along the Belt and Road\u2014Based on the Spillover and Feedback Effects Model","volume":"319","author":"Wang","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
