according to the master plan of dupangling national nature reserve approved by the state and provincial departments, dupangling nature reserve is to be built into a multifunctional national nature reserve integrating protection, scientific research, production, teaching, practice and eco-tourism. Combined with this orientation, the short-term planning is to highlight the protection system of vegetation and forest ecosystem and the construction of scientific research system focusing on basic scientific research and popular science education, so as to restore the population and quantity of rare and endangered species in the reserve and maintain biodiversity; Post-planning is to further improve various infrastructures on the basis of focusing on protection and restoration, and strive to meet the needs of society and local communities for scientific research, protection, education and other aspects of the reserve. At the same time, combining local resources, actively develop eco-tourism and promote the sustained and healthy development of the regional economy. Since the establishment of the Authority, the overall situation has always adhered to the guiding ideology of "taking protection as the purpose, taking development as the means and promoting protection through development". While taking measures to strictly manage resources, we have raised construction funds in various channels and forms in strict accordance with the requirements of the Master Plan to speed up the construction of protected areas. First, a number of project facilities related to protection, production, life and tourism have been completed, including six management stations (stations), six new forest protection points, 174km of patrol roads and 49km of fire protection lines, two new business complex buildings and a number of permanent billboards (columns), and a number of eco-tourism attractions and facilities have been built and improved. The construction of the first phase of infrastructure projects is progressing smoothly. Second, the publicity of laws and regulations has been further strengthened, and all kinds of commercial logging and hunting activities have been completely banned in the nature reserve, especially by setting up billboards at the entrance to the mountain, writing permanent publicity slogans, organizing people to enter the village to distribute publicity materials, and explaining the national laws and regulations on nature reserves and wildlife protection face to face, which has continuously enhanced the protection awareness of the surrounding communities and laid a good foundation for the total prohibition of all kinds of commercial logging and hunting in the whole region. Third, the patrol, protection and management of the protected areas have been effectively strengthened, and all kinds of illegal and criminal acts that destroy the resources of the protected areas, such as illegal logging, indiscriminate logging, indiscriminate hunting, and indiscriminate requisition and occupation of forest land, have been severely cracked down. Two ***95-person professional forest protection teams have been established in the overall situation, and the forest resources have been effectively protected. Fourth, the forest fire prevention work has been effectively strengthened to prevent forest fires. We have conscientiously implemented the guiding ideology of "putting prevention first and actively extinguishing" in the overall situation. While extensively carrying out publicity and education on forest fire prevention and striving to raise people's awareness of forest fire prevention in the region, we have further established and improved the four-level forest fire early warning and forecasting system and the three-level forest fire prevention joint defense mechanism of branches, management stations and village groups, and implemented the forest fire prevention responsibility system and the field fire management system, which has achieved good results. Since the establishment of the nature reserve, there has not been a forest fire accident, a case of damaging and protecting wildlife resources, nor the phenomenon of surrounding villagers destroying forests for land reclamation and cutting firewood to burn carbon. The vegetation and environment in the whole region have been effectively restored and protected. In recent years, with the implementation of key projects such as national ecological public welfare forest, returning farmland to forests and infrastructure construction of protected areas, it has brought infinite vitality to the development of protected areas, and the changes of protected areas are changing with each passing day.
