Evaluates ecological impacts in mining regions, highlighting significant degradation despite management efforts.
This study evaluates the ecological and environmental impacts of mining at Wanli Coal Mine by constructing an assessment system comprising three criterion levels (natural endowment status, ecological status, and human management index) and 14 indicators. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, key factors such as annual extraction volume, vegetation coverage, and sur-face fracture development were identified and weighted. Results show that while human management is rated “Excellent” natural endowment is “very poor”ecological status is “poor”and overall environmental quality is “poor”.This indicates that intensive mining has caused significant ecological degradation despite management efforts. The framework provides a basis for targeted restoration and sustainable mining strategies, with ap-plicability to similar mining regions.
