On the evening of the 21st, the News Office of Dongchuan District People's Government in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, issued a notice in response to the situation of "tourists starting fires in the wild on Dagu Niu Mountain" reported by netizens, stating that 12 individuals involved have been administratively punished in accordance with the law and are required to restore vegetation within a specified period of time. The report pointed out that recently, some tourists climbed Dagu Niu Mountain at an altitude of over 4000 meters in the early morning to watch the sunrise. Due to the cold weather at night, some tourists lit low shrubs on the grassland to keep warm. Dongchuan District has established a joint investigation team composed of forestry, grassland, public security and other departments to conduct on-site investigation and verification. The total area of damaged plants is about 165 square meters, mainly including common wild plants such as Berberis amurense and Rhododendron simsii. The investigation team has preliminarily determined that the behavior of 12 tourists, including Shi and Li, has caused damage to the vegetation of Dagu Niu Mountain and posed a forest fire hazard. According to the Grassland Law of the People's Republic of China, relevant departments shall impose administrative penalties on those involved in illegal activities and require vegetation restoration within a specified period of time. According to the report, Dongchuan District has strengthened management services at Dagu Niu Mountain, conducted legal publicity for mountain climbers, and increased patrols and inspections by forestry, grassland, public security and other departments to strictly control fire sources and prevent similar incidents from happening again. It is understood that the ecological environment of Dagu Niu Mountain is fragile. Although it has certain landscape value, it has not been developed and seriously lacks supporting service facilities. Local tourists are reminded to take precautions against cold and keep warm, pay attention to their own safety, and protect the ecological environment; Consciously abide by relevant laws and regulations, firmly establish fire prevention awareness, and those who violate regulations by using fire in the wild will be dealt with seriously in accordance with the law and regulations; Those who cause forest fires and are suspected of committing crimes will be held criminally responsible in accordance with the law.
