In 2023, the ecological damage compensation case concerning illegal mining in the Muli mining area of Qinghai Province, China, was concluded, with responsible parties ordered to pay over RMB 5 billion in compensation. The case originated from media revelations in 2020 exposing large-scale illegal mining activities in the Muli region, which sparked nationwide concern. Investigations found that multiple companies had conducted open-pit coal mining for years without proper permits near a national nature reserve, severely damaging the fragile alpine ecosystem and causing soil erosion, grassland degradation, and water pollution. The Qinghai provincial government subsequently initiated an ecological damage compensation process under China’s ‘Reform Plan for Ecological and Environmental Damage Compensation’ and related laws. Companies including Xingqing Industry & Trade were identified as primary responsible entities and required to cover both ecological restoration costs and punitive damages, totaling more than RMB 5 billion. This case not only set a new record for environmental compensation in China but also underscored the nation’s firm commitment to protecting ecological ‘red lines,’ sending a clear legal message: ‘Whoever destroys must restore and compensate.’
2023年，中国青海省木里矿区非法采矿生态环境损害赔偿案尘埃落定，相关责任方被责令赔偿超过50亿元人民币。此案源于2020年媒体曝光的木里矿区大规模非法开采问题，引发全国关注。经调查，多家企业长期在未取得合法手续的情况下，在国家级自然保护区周边进行露天煤矿开采，严重破坏高原脆弱生态系统，造成水土流失、草场退化和水源污染等后果。青海省政府随后启动生态环境损害赔偿程序，依据《生态环境损害赔偿制度改革方案》及相关法律法规，对涉事企业追责。最终，包括兴青工贸在内的多家公司被认定为主要责任主体，需承担生态修复费用及惩罚性赔偿，总额逾50亿元。该案不仅创下中国生态环境损害赔偿金额新高，也彰显了国家对生态保护‘红线’的坚决守护，释放出‘谁破坏、谁修复、谁赔偿’的强烈法治信号。
