Building a Judicial Barrier for Green Waters and Green Mountains (Focusing on the Rule of Law)

2023-09-18

It has been raining recently, and I don't know how our yew is doing. "As soon as it cleared, Zhou Menglin, the president of the Environmental Resources Trial Division of the People's Court of Luonan County, Shaanxi Province, hurriedly went to the Qinling yew judicial protection base to check the situation of the yew. After a year of judicial protection, the yew trees here are thriving. The Qinling Mountains cross the east and west, with a significant responsibility for ecological and environmental protection. In recent years, Shaanxi courts have been continuously exploring effective ways to optimize and solve the problems faced by environmental resource case trials by promoting the new "three in one" trial model, establishing circuit courts, and building judicial protection bases. Criminal, civil, and administrative cases of environmental resources are under the jurisdiction of professional environmental justice institutions, promoting the specialization of environmental justice. "I don't want to hunt wild animals, but they always harm crops. I am willing to compensate, but I hope my losses can also be compensated." This is the final statement made by defendant Yang in an illegal hunting case heard by the Ankang Railway Transport Court to the court. The case occurred in Longwang Town, Ningshan County, located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. The local wildlife resources are abundant, and injuries to people and property have occurred from time to time. In 2016, the Shaanxi court system took the lead in exploring the "three in one" centralized trial model for environmental resource criminal, civil, and administrative cases. Environmental resource related cases were no longer handed over to different courts for trial according to the types of civil, administrative, and criminal cases, but instead were handed over to professional environmental resource trial institutions for unified trial. The Ankang Railway Transport Court is one of the first pilot units of environmental resource trial institutions in Shaanxi. During our visit and research, we found that the local people have relatively limited knowledge about compensation for wildlife damage. Therefore, we issued a judicial proposal to the Ningshan County Forestry Bureau, recommending the promotion of compensation for wildlife damage. "Wang Qixuan, the president of the Ankang Railway Transport Court, who handled the case, said. After receiving the information, the Forestry Bureau of Ningshan County took this opportunity to strengthen and improve the work related to wildlife protection and damage compensation in Ningshan County. Judge Cui Xi of the Shaanxi Provincial High People's Court said, "This case has a very exemplary effect, forming an effective connection between judicial and administrative means, and providing valuable experience for the 'three in one' centralized trial model." The judicial recommendations of this case were widely recommended by the Supreme People's Court as a typical case on this year's' June 5th Environmental Day '. This is a major measure taken by our province since 2020 to comprehensively implement the reform of the environmental resource trial mechanism, which is conducive to the specialized construction of environmental justice and the formation of a comprehensive and three-dimensional judicial protection of environmental resources. "Gong Fuwen, Vice President of Shaanxi High Court, introduced, Since 2021, courts across the province have accepted a total of 2313 cases of environmental pollution and ecological damage, 10 cases of ecological damage compensation, and 236 cases of public interest litigation. Grassroots courts have established environmental resource trial circuit courts, making it easier to hear and educate each case. On June 5th, on the 52nd World Environment Day, the Environmental Resource Trial Circuit Court of the People's Court of Luonan County was located at the local community legal culture square, For the first time, a criminal case of illegal hunting and destruction of environmental resources was publicly tried and sentenced in court, with many people stopping to listen. Originally, hitting these animals is also illegal. In the future, you must be careful not to
