The Liaoning provincial government recently issued a "government decree", announcing that from 20 10/month 1 5, the whole province will close the mountain and prohibit grazing. The range of closing hillsides for grazing prohibition is all forest land within the administrative area of Liaoning, including barren hills and wasteland suitable for forest and land for returning farmland to forest as determined by the people's governments of provinces, cities and counties. The city and county people's governments shall be responsible for the specific work of closing hillsides for grazing prohibition. According to the "Government Decree", the boundary of forest land is determined and announced by the county people's government, and the county forestry administrative department shall set up necessary guardrail and other management and protection facilities or obvious signs around the forest land to indicate the boundary of grazing prohibition. ? The work of closing hillsides to grazing in the whole province will be based on the principle of "enclosure first and strict management", and no unit or individual is allowed to graze within the scope of closing hillsides to grazing. Units and individuals who violate the provisions of closing hillsides to prohibit grazing will be subject to economic and even criminal penalties. There is no end date for closing hillsides for grazing in Liaoning province, but the future closing hillsides for grazing will be decided by the provincial government, and the city and county governments have no right to cancel closing hillsides for grazing without authorization. In recent years, Liaoning attaches great importance to forest ecological protection, and has successively implemented a series of forest conservation and forest protection measures, such as banning natural forest cutting and subsidizing ecological public welfare forests, returning farmland to forests and building fast-growing and high-yield forests, and building a shelter forest system. At present, the forest land area of the province is 6.95 million hectares, and the forestland area is 5.34 million hectares, with a forest coverage rate of 35. 13%.
