reporters at the scene can see, this is a full flavor of the mountain forests. whole mountain live a total of only two head families, clouds winding houses, picturesque in the United States in Wonderland. closer inspection, soil cracking around the house has become dangerous. But to live a lifetime in the mountains Wanzhi said he has long used the country, and intend to passed away. He pointed to a coffin placed in front of home: With the increase in the number Shennongjia golden monkey, usually living in the 1760-2600 m of the monkeys gradually to the low altitude regions. blue sky and white robes of the altitude of 1,700 meters, there have been signs of monkey activity.
After the sky overcast gowns will be the second Wenyuhe. First, relatives and friends, relatives boarding; the second is to buy other people's homes vacant old house
guardian because of the Shennongjia people bulging pockets, there have been people from the mountains support Shennongjia.
1980, the 25-year-old man from Hubei, Heng Cheng Xingshan demobilization from the army, was finally in the Shennongjia logging for his father to a fight work places. with a vision to become permanent, leaving home, to Shennongjia logging.
to constant as that although logging is dangerous work, but it was young, energetic, not afraid of anything. got up early, grab a good chain saw, a typical day can cut thirty-four diameter of 3 meters of the ancient giant trees. At that time forest reward and punishment, cut three or more per day, have a reward.
80's, many young people to the mainland to find work as a woodcutter injury, but there are still many young people one after the crush to come. only one reason: high wages. compared to other types of work, loggers 9 per month for an extra allowance for logging, and rose quickly.
first years, the constant into a monthly wage of 29 yuan; the following year rose to 48 yuan. ;
to constant as said, when he was still not the highest wages. They are the envy of the work DAJIUHU loggers. patch of forest does not belong to the state, loggers cut down a tree takes only a day , and then drag the road next to the waiting, and soon there will be close after diesel cars. After some bargaining, the maximum time, a tree can be sold for 600 yuan.
However, loggers Shennongjia the happiness in 2003 , ended March 9. Since that day, Shennongjia a ban on logging, shut down more than 80 logging companies. That year, a large number engaged in timber production and processing of workers laid off. to be regarded as constant as lucky, make a transition the forest rangers, a monthly salary of 400 yuan, more than at the national average monthly income of 781 yuan workers is much lower.
Now, nearly 20 years later, has also been promoted to the constant for the wooden fish into a small forest management Dangyang director, he 21 men managed rangers .2008, his first break thousands of monthly salary, up to 1200 yuan. He said that with the rangers in the young than the wages of 800 yuan, has been very good. But life is still constraints.,
imported, so the price to the town turned Muyu times. Now, to the constant into the forest and his wife live in dormitories provided, a family room, the monthly rent 400. his two children, son 27 years old, from Hubei University, graduating four years, has yet to pay off student loans; second son, 20 years old, still water in Yichang school, tuition fees plus living expenses each year, almost close to 1 million.
and wages were also disproportionately hard rangers patrol work. in the mountains, hills rolling stone is a very common thing. newspaper photographer for the rangers in the woods taking pictures of a half hour, took place over a never far from the size of the stones tumbled down the canyon cliffs. to the constant into the arm is injured, many were left bruised stone mountain; to constant as that in 2005, there was a forest ranger in park ranger, unfortunately killed by a boulder, side, accompanied by rangers immediately resigned, never to return.
addition to the face of any possible incoming gravel, forest rangers all need to face beast. patrol, the chance encounter with the black bear is a very common thing, especially in the black bear run into estrus, or the mother bear with a bear at any time, there will be life-threatening.
helmets, no dagger, all careful to fend for themselves. if it did move, it will play unskilled laborer. and two sons back, but also to have a place to live. br> 8 4, this reporter went to the next home Itabashi Village. Shennongjia forest areas is a relatively poor area, not around the scenic town of Tourism Development Zone from the Shennongjia Muyu drive, bumps along the way, takes 4 hours.
8:00, farmers Rereading angrily into the management of protected areas complain Itabashi, State protection of the ecological, eat, eat, and to when the hello friend. want compensation to farmers, but the Government has no such sum of money.
Rereading reporter came to his house to follow corn. After a night of brush Zhedao to the ground. the ground covered with wild boar's hoof prints, hoof prints, some bigger than the bottom of the bowl. One was packing corn tea to go. Rereading that it was his wife the morning she first discovered the corn was ruined when the tears Kugan had been. Today, Shennongjia farmers generally face a dilemma: In order to protect the forest, people are prohibited in the mountains to plant crops; be good ecological protection, wildlife and more, people are often limited by animals damage crops. According to government statistics Shennongjia , animal disaster occurred in 2008 Shennongjia 11,000 acres of farmland, 10 million yuan in direct economic losses, resulting in 9,000 people, 2,500 food-deficit 70 days.
According to report, most villages are now seeking Shennongjia ;, through the promotion of Many village promotion. but, in addition to the village tea gown blue sky has become the size of the acquisition market, the other are in the pilot phase.
Rereading have also seen a ray of hope .2008 January, the village set up a Chinese herbal medicine Itabashi Association to promote the Shennongjia value. came back, he encouraged the local people involved in the cultivation, so that herbs can inhibit the desire to sneak up the hill farmers, but also help farmers to resist the threat of wild boar and black bear, because these animals do not eat herbs.
2008 early in the market price herbal Scrophulariaceae 2.4 yuan per catty, Hu Changsong calculations the local people, the same year as the crop for the year, the profits of an acre of land Scrophulariaceae, is three times more corn. Early last year, Rereading home follow the recommendations of Hu Changsong, spent 200 yuan to buy an acre of land Scrophulariaceae seeds. did not expect the price of medicines by the financial crisis worsened, and in October 2008, independent living, the price plunged to catty Scrophulariaceae 8 angle.
now, Rereading also reluctant to hand the hands of a few hundred pounds Scrophulariaceae; He also imagined that one day they can sell at a good price on the market. In fact, he did not know that this year planting, then picking only one year of Chinese medicine herbs, this October, he will become a pile of hand Scrophulariaceae real waste.
experienced such market ups and downs, Hu Changsong from farmers call the ; Hu liar far from doors, must be five or six points in the morning to catch bus. After 8 am, and the occasional lucky to have met or Yichang temporary shuttle to Xingshan. In addition, Shennongjia out of the bus no. > In the Shennongjia, no taxis. from the wooden fish to Itabashi, only package This dawned man)! environment, the loss of a lot of economic opportunities.
Shennongjia ;. but in the end it is difficult to assess how much for the interests of ecological environment, or by the number of losses, costs or benefits are difficult to calculate, Shennongjia faced with Hubei Province has been designated as pilot ecological compensation In 2009, the Hubei Provincial Government has also increased by 1 mu Shennongjia Forest indicators, according to an annual standard of 500 yuan per mu subsidy included in the provincial budget. Forest Government intends to use the money to support the development of local forestry workers herbs, bee, pig farming and other alternative forestry industry.
reporter was informed, by the end of July, the government allocated forest 25 million to help develop these alternative Xu Chuang forest industries expected average annual wage of workers in the forest will thus rise 10%.
br> world-renowned environmental organization The Nature Conservancy Ministry of Natural Capital Project in China expert Chen told the people br> Chen Min, for example, in Costa Rica, to support investment in environmental protection upstream of the forest zone, 20000 San Jose area residents and businesses a slight increase water costs. The same is true for the poor to provide compensation for ecological Shennongjia, the government should not only There it will benefit the surrounding businesses. commercial considerations should be to pay for it. model. Once the environmental contribution of the victim's l r calculated, there is a scientific basis for ecological compensation, but also government funding to solve the evils of r l across the board.
