Nanping Forestry Bureau further promotes the protection of wild animals and plants

In the Wuyishan National Park in the summer, amid mountains and clear waters, white pheasants, yellow-bellied pheasants, and white-necked long-tailed pheasants are leisurely looking for food. Black muntjacs and hooded deer monkeys shuttle through the forest, and strange flowers are seen. Are exotic plants competing for their beauty?

In October last year, the first batch of national parks were officially established, and Wuyishan National Park was among them. Taking this as an opportunity, the Municipal Forestry Bureau has adopted a series of "hard-core" measures in the protection of wild animals and plants to promote the continuous upgrading of resource cultivation and ecological protection, making Nanping's "green label" features more unique and brighter. With better advantages, we strive to create a "model" for the construction of ecological civilization.

It is understood that at present, there are 246 species of rare and endangered wild animals and plants under national key protection in Nanping City, such as macaques, pangolins, jackals, black bears, white pheasants, southern yews, ginkgo, and Bole trees; birds There are 350 species, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of birds in the country. There are two migration channels for migratory birds. During the bird migration season, more than 100 species of migratory birds come to or pass through Nanping.

Scientific forest management to create a "safe and happy land"

The summer showers come and go, and the "Forest Ecological Bank" field-village cooperative management demonstration forest in Shuinan Village, Shuangxi Street, Shunchang County Here, the fir trees are towering, and the interplanted precious broad-leaved trees such as Hokkien nanke and yew have been washed by the rain and become extremely green, and the birds singing in the forest are clear.

According to Guan Yingcheng, the person in charge of the demonstration forest, the demonstration forest covers an area of ??2,260 acres, with 24 target trees/acre maintained through thinning, and 1 to 3-year-old Hokkien phoebe, southern yew and other rare local tree species are interplanted under the forest canopy. 60 trees/acre. By cultivating large-diameter fir and precious tree species, the artificial fir coniferous pure forest was transformed into a needle-broad mixed-age mixed forest of different ages, which greatly improved the ecological carrying capacity of the forest.

?Everything needs its harmony to live, and each needs its nourishment to thrive. ?Wild animals are members of nature. They rely on forests, swamps, grasslands and other environments to survive. In recent years, Nanping City has vigorously implemented the national reserve forest quality precise improvement project, promoting the implementation of changing single-layer coniferous forests into coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, changing single-layer forests into multi-layer forests of different ages, and changing evergreen timber forests into evergreen colorful leaves. The construction of floral and mosaic multi-functional landscape forests further optimizes the structure of tree species, improves the quality of the forest, and provides a "safe and happy place" for wild animals and plants.

Xie Tenghui, director of the Municipal Forestry Office and director of the Municipal Forestry Bureau, told reporters that in order to create a better habitat for wild animals and plants, Nanping City successfully fought for and implemented the land greening pilot demonstration project, the northwest Fujian mountainous area Hilly biodiversity projects, etc., comprehensively stop commercial logging of natural forests, strictly abide by ecological protection red lines, increase mandatory protection of key ecological functional areas such as nature reserves and important wetlands, implement unified supervision of various nature reserves, and organize A number of rare and endangered wild animals and plants protection and rescue projects, such as silver roses, Chinese pangolins, palm trees, bole trees, and golden-spotted swallowtail butterflies, will speed up the construction of a natural reserve system based on national parks and other areas to ensure that the habitats of wild animals and plants be effectively protected. At present, Nanping City has established 45 nature reserves of various types, including 1 national park, 8 nature reserves, 10 scenic spots, 22 forest natural parks, 3 geological natural parks, and 1 wetland natural park. with a total area of ??approximately 140,000 hectares, laying a solid foundation for the systematic protection of biological diversity.

The quality of the house has improved, and rare guests have come to settle down.

The Chinese merganser, a national first-level key protected wild animal, overwinters in the waters east of Jian'ou. The national second-level key protected wild animal, the mandarin duck, thrives in the Shaowujiangshi Provincial Nature Reserve. From migratory birds to More and more rare wild animals have become resident birds and are breaking into the sight of people in northern Fujian. In addition, new species continue to appear in Nanping City. Since the beginning of this year, new species such as the Euphorbia genus and the Zhuqianlao umbrella have been discovered in Nanping City. Especially during the pilot period of the Wuyishan National Park institutional mechanism, a total of 11 new species including the Wuyi forest frog and the Wuyishan hairy beetle were discovered. , which greatly enriched Nanping’s species records.

Precise policy implementation and strengthened institutional guarantees

It was very cold that day. Gong Zhixiong, the forest ranger of Fangcun Village, saw a python paralyzed on the ground while he was patrolling the mountain, near death. , he reported it to the forestry station immediately. ? Huang Wei, the head of the Forestry Station in Nanya Town, Jianou City, still vividly recalled the incident of rescuing wild animals last year. ? We promptly requested the forestry department to carry out a series of scientific rescues for the python, and finally the python came back to life. , was released into the mountains and forests. ?

Huang Wei told reporters that since the full implementation of the forest chief system, more than 40 forest rangers have been hired locally to patrol the mountain forests in Nanya Town for at least 15 days a month. ?What we patrol is not only the forest, but also the wild animals and plants that live in the forest. ?

I learned from the Municipal Forestry Bureau that Nanping City won first place in the province’s 2021 forest chief system work evaluation, and was confirmed by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration as one of the 8 official cities in the country to implement the forest chief system. One of the counties and cities to encourage. In order to speed up the transformation of Nanping City's forest chief system from "comprehensive establishment" to "comprehensive effectiveness" and increase the protection of wild animal and plant resources, since this year, the Municipal Forestry Bureau has included nature reserves and wildlife protection in the "2022 Nanping City "Implementation Rules for the Assessment of the Forest Chief System" and "Key Points of the Nanping City Forest Chief System Work in 2022", give full play to the role of the three teams of town and village ecological public welfare forest rangers, nature reserve managers and village-level foresters, and implement the grid We will improve patrol management, strengthen the monitoring of key areas such as concentrated distribution areas of wild animals, wintering grounds, and migration stopover areas, and use mobile patrol APP and other platforms to comprehensively collect and analyze wildlife activities to achieve precise policy implementation and meticulous management. , and strive to protect biological diversity.

The key to protecting wild animal and plant resources is to cut off the profit chain of illegal capture, transportation, sale, purchase and consumption.

To this end, Nanping City has innovatively established a working mechanism of “Chief Forest Officer”, “Chief Forest Officer”, “Chief Forest Officer” and “Procurator-General Forest” and “Director of Forestry Court” to clarify the roles of the Forest Chief’s Office, courts, procuratorates, and public security bureaus in forests, wetlands, The common and specific responsibilities in the protection, management and law enforcement supervision of natural reserves, wild animals and plants and other ecological resources have formed a new situation in the development of forest resource protection and linkage between judicial and administrative law enforcement, which provides a basis for timely and lawful crackdown on forest-related crimes. Behavior provides strong legal protection. Since the beginning of this year, Nanping City has carried out in-depth "Operation Qingfeng" with the main content of combating illegal wildlife trade. So far, 39 wildlife cases (including 34 criminal cases) have been investigated and dealt with, and 31 illegal criminals have been dealt with. , 196 wild animals, 8 products weighing 21.4 kilograms, and 85 illegal hunting and fishing gear were confiscated, creating a great shock.

Popularize science and education, and consolidate the foundation of the masses

The protection of wild animals and plants must not only be enshrined in laws and regulations, but also be incorporated into the brains and hearts.

Recently, the Education Center of Qitaishan Provincial Nature Reserve in Shunchang County welcomed a group of students to visit and study. Everyone has a strong interest in the wildlife specimens, simulated ecological landscapes, images and pictures in the museum, and often asks the introducer about wildlife, forest vegetation, ecosystems and other related issues.

The Qitaishan Provincial Nature Reserve Education Center is located in the Shunchang County Forestry Science and Technology Promotion Center, covering an area of ??350 square meters. The museum has butterfly exhibition areas, bird and animal exhibition areas, forest ecological areas, swamp ecological areas, projection interactive areas, etc. ***Collected 152 species of vertebrate specimens, including 108 species of birds, 42 species of mammals, 2 species of reptiles, and 246 species of butterfly specimens, among which the genus Papilionae was produced in the Baoshan National Scenic Area in the county It is a national first-level protected animal and serves as a popular science education window for Shunchang County to provide the public with intuitive and comprehensive understanding of biodiversity knowledge.

Zeng Yongxiang, head of the Wildlife Protection Center of the Municipal Forestry Bureau, said that there are currently 6 missionary centers in the city. The city’s forestry system combines bird love week, wildlife protection publicity month, and world wildlife protection every year. Through continuous and in-depth education on wildlife protection and public health and safety, we have guided the whole people to establish the concept of ecological civilization that respects nature, conforms to nature, and protects nature. Last year alone, more than 110 publicity activities were carried out. ?Providing good legal, health and civilized courses for the whole society is a fundamental move to reduce the pressure of supervision and law enforcement, and is also a long-term strategy to protect wild animals and plants. In the future, the city’s forestry system will continue to widely popularize the protection of wild animals and plants, Scientific knowledge on the prevention and control of animal epidemics can help the public fully understand the health risks of overeating wild animals, develop civilized and hygienic eating habits, and truly allow people to internalize the concept of protecting wild animals and plants in their hearts and externalize it in their actions. ?

?Protect while developing, develop while protecting. ?Mountains, rivers, vegetation, insects, fish, birds and animals, all things are growing and thriving in the green Nanping with a forest coverage rate of 78.89%. (Tang Wenjuan Zhu Weiyi)
