Strike on Illegal Felling of Trees in Northeast China

Government of northeast China's Jilin province has recently carried out a crackdown on illegally felling trees in forests and hunting to protect precious virgin forest and wild life.

The police has arrested in the past three months members of 76 criminal gangs, and confiscated 3,782 cubic meters of timber with a value of at least 10 million yuan (US$1.2 million), according to the local resources.

The province, which has a vast amount of black soil and virgin forest, is becoming a lucrative business for illegal tree fellers.

Police are fighting against the unlawful felling of trees as well as the secret distribution channel of the gangs, said Liu Zhitian, senior officer of local police.
