Hunan police reveal the interest chain behind dozens of ancient trees being poisoned. What protection does the state have for ancient trees?

On August 5, 2022, the police in a certain place in Hunan announced a case of poisoning an ancient tree to the public. It is understood that in June last year, a century-old tree died in Liuyang, Hunan Province, and then the staff of the local government reflected this situation to the local public security bureau. After investigation, it was found that these ancient trees were not caused by natural causes, but by human factors. Because these ancient trees are national protected plants, the police attached great importance to them and spent a lot of energy to finally solve these cases. China has always taken very precise protection work for ancient trees, such as relevant laws and regulations, and professional departments and staff have played a role in maintaining and monitoring ancient trees.

China attaches great importance to the protection of ancient trees because they play a very important role in maintaining the ecological environment, which is closely related to people's lives. Some people poison ancient trees because there are profits in them. Old trees grow for a long time, so the trunk is thick and the branches and leaves are very lush. If they are abnormal and can't grow according to the normal development law, people will cut them down to prevent them from damaging the surrounding buildings.

Then someone will destroy the normal growth of ancient trees to get a felling license. After cutting down these ancient trees, they will sell them in the market for profit. The frequency of such cases in China is relatively low, so it is very difficult for the police to investigate, and the modus operandi adopted by these people is relatively hidden, which brings great difficulty to the police to solve the case.

However, China's determination to crack down on this behavior is obvious. Anyone who destroys ancient trees will be severely punished, so people must not take any chances. As ordinary people, we should also be aware of the importance of protection. As a member of nature, everyone should make due contributions to maintaining the local ecological environment.
