Abstract: In response to the critical technological demands for judicial appraisal of eco-environmental damage within the framework of building an ecological civilizations legal system, this study focused on methodological innovation and practical application in the assessment of environmental damage caused by illegal mining cases in the Yellow River Basin. Through empirical analysis of the appraisal process in typical cases, this study proposed an “all-elements and multi-scale” assessment framework and constructed a comprehensive evaluation system covering the dimensions of mineral resources, soil environment, water environment, biota, ecosystem service functions, and potential secondary disaster hazards. It discussed the key challenges and corresponding solutions in the appraisal process. This research provides scientific support for the reform of the eco-environmental damage compensation system in the Yellow River Basin and holds significant practical value for improving the technical standard system of environmental judicial appraisal.

Key words: Yellow River Basin, illegal mining, ecological environment damage, appraisal and assessment
