Facts about Wutaishan National Nature Reserve.

  Travelers encountered heavy rain and trapped in the forest area

  Xiaowutai Mountain National Nature Reserve is located in Yuxian and Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. It was approved by the State Council in July 2002 and was promoted from a provincial nature reserve to a national nature reserve. The main protection object is warm temperate forest ecosystems. With a total area of ​​26,700 hectares and a forest coverage rate of 77.3%, it is also known as the “Roof of Hebei” and “the first green barrier in the west of Beijing”.

  Due to the magnificent geomorphology, magnificent scenery, and pristine forests, Xiaowutai Mountain has become a paradise for hiking and mountaineering enthusiasts, and it is a sacred place in the hearts of "allies" in the north, attracting many outdoor enthusiasts to visit.

However, the geographical environment of Xiaowutai Mountain is complicated and the climbing route is extremely difficult. In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of trapping and even casualties of "allies".

In addition, some "allies" digging and destroying meadows and picking wild plants in the reserve have a serious impact on Xiaowutai Mountain.

  In the middle of the night on July 11 this year, 16 mountaineering enthusiasts evaded the infrared video surveillance cameras at bayonet and ditch, climbed the mountain ridge and entered the Xiaowutaishan National Nature Reserve illegally.

Due to the torrential rain, 16 people were trapped in the valley terraces of the Chiyabaogou forest area in Taohua Town, Yuxian County at 6:30 in the morning of July 12.

After that, rescuers were organized by the Xiaowutaishan National Nature Reserve Management Center to jointly rescue with emergency, fire, and blue sky rescue teams, July 13 At 7:00, all 16 people were rescued from the trapped area and sent to the hospital for physical examination and nucleic acid testing.

  After investigation, the 16 trapped persons who entered the reserve illegally this time were mountaineering enthusiasts from Danyang City, Jiangsu Province.

At 6 o'clock on July 10th, they took a minibus and entered Zhangjiakou City. They arrived at Zhangjiayao Village, Baishu Township, Yuxian County at 1 o'clock in the morning on July 11, and stayed in the farmyard in the village.

  At 4:30 a.m. on July 11, the 16 people ignored the "Mountain Closing Announcement" posted by the Xiaowutai Mountain National Nature Reserve and the protective fences, signs, and warning signs set up, avoided the monitoring equipment, and turned over the protective devices. Illegal entry into the reserve, trekking through the core area to reach the forest area of ​​Chiyabaogou, a reserve located in Taohua Town, Yuxian County, resulted in illegal entry into the national nature reserve.

  Unauthorized entry into the protected area

  Article 27 of the Nature Reserve Regulations stipulates that anyone is prohibited from entering the core area of ​​the nature reserve.

If it is necessary to enter the core area to engage in scientific research observation and survey activities due to the needs of scientific research, an application and activity plan shall be submitted to the nature reserve management agency in advance, and approved by the nature reserve management agency; among them, enter the national nature reserve The core area shall be approved by the relevant nature reserve administrative department of the people's government of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government.

  In view of the fact that the 16 mountaineering enthusiasts broke into the national nature reserve for mountaineering without the approval of the state and the Hebei Provincial Nature Reserve administrative department, the Management Center of Hebei Xiaowutai Mountain National Nature Reserve made a decision to 16 people in accordance with the law. An administrative penalty of 5,000 yuan per person.

  It is reported that this administrative law enforcement act punished in accordance with the law is the first case in which the main body of comprehensive administrative law enforcement has shifted from the forest public security agency to the forestry and grass industry sector after the current Hebei forestry and grassland administrative law enforcement reforms, and it is also the first time for Hebei Xiaowutaishan National Nature Reserve. Administrative penalty form issued in accordance with the law.

  Cherish life and abide by the mountain closure regulations

  Xiaowutai Mountain National Nature Reserve has always been a resort for "allies" to challenge mountaineering expeditions.

Many years ago, because it was difficult to prevent the "donkey friends" from entering the mountains, in accordance with the regulations that the experimental area of ​​the nature reserve can carry out visits and tourism activities, the Xiaowutai Mountain Reserve also humanely considered the needs of the "donkey friends" and experimented in the reserve. Two flat, rain-proof and safe camping areas have been set up at different altitudes in the district for the use of "Asses".

  However, after the "opening" was released, some "allies" did not camp according to the designated area, or damaged the lawn during camping, or directly dug up the meadow, causing serious ecological environmental damage.

In July 2016, after entering the Xiaowutai Mountain Reserve, some “allies” used shovels and other tools to savagely dig meadows and set up camping tents on exposed bare soil. Some of them even picked and destroyed wild nasturtiums.

  It is understood that due to the cold climate of Xiaowutai Mountain Nature Reserve and long snow accumulation period, the alpine meadows are extremely fragile. Once destroyed, it is difficult to recover, and it will cause the death of a larger area of ​​surrounding plants.

After the above-mentioned uncivilized behaviors of the "Asses" were exposed, it attracted the attention of relevant departments and public opinion. The Xiaowutai Mountain Nature Reserve clearly prohibited unrelated persons from entering the reserve in accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, and violated laws and regulations that damage the natural ecological environment. Severe crackdowns in accordance with the law.

  Since then, the Hebei Provincial Forestry and Grass Department and Xiaowutai Mountain Reserve have begun to normalize the entry of irrelevant personnel. The Reserve officially issued the "Announcement on Mountain Closure" in April 2017, clarifying that the protection area will be closed for the whole year, and all units or individuals are prohibited from unauthorized access. Enter the protected area to carry out tourism, mountaineering, hunting, grazing, picking and other activities.

Those who need to carry out teaching practice, scientific research and other activities in the reserve must submit an application to the management department of the reserve, and they can proceed only after approval.

The protected area also issued the "Prohibition of Prohibition" at the same time, prohibiting the illegal excavation of protected wild plants.

  Today, the "Announcement of Mountain Closure" re-issued by the Xiaowutaishan National Nature Reserve Management Center is posted at the entrance of the protected area. It not only reiterates the annual closure of mountains, but also clarifies that units or individuals who enter the protected area in violation of regulations will be charged. Strictly investigate and deal with; if the accident of personal injury or death is caused by illegally crossing the protected area, the responsibility shall be borne by the unit or individual that organizes the travel and mountaineering activities; all rescue expenses incurred by the search and rescue operation shall be borne by the rescued unit or individual.

  The long hiking trail is the first step to safety; don’t treat life as a child’s play, and don’t take the law as a child’s play.

For the majority of "allies", conquering the mountains and overlooking the mountains is of course extremely attractive.

However, due to the complex climatic environment of the nature reserve and the lack of communication signals in the deep mountainous areas, it is difficult for rescue operations to be carried out in a timely and effective manner in the event of a safety accident.

It is hoped that "Asses" will not enter the reserve illegally, cherish resources and cherish life.
