Text from the Canary Islands
A pesar de las grandes transformaciones ambientales y paisajísticas producidas en la isla de Gran Canaria, este espacio mantiene bien conservados sus paisajes, en parte porsu pertinaz aislamiento histórico.
Encontramos aquí las mejores muestras de los ecosistemas que vivieron los aborígenes que, pese a los ***embates extractivos*** sufridos tras la Conquista, hoy recuperan paulatinamente su naturalidad.
Looking for help with embates extractivos in this context please.

So, we get something like this:"...despite the mining damage suffered after the conquest..."

NB: Ravages/pounding/battering/assault etc are all good stylistic options, but I don't think we really need to overegg the pudding. Damage is damage.
