Baotou cracks down on illegal deforestation, grassland destruction

Updated: 2025-04-10

Baotou has launched a comprehensive campaign to combat ecological violations, implementing strict measures against illegal deforestation and grassland destruction. The city has established specialized task forces with clearly defined departmental responsibilities, and has created detailed rectification plans for all identified cases, setting deadlines for April to resolve existing violations. 

Authorities are employing satellite imagery and drone surveillance to monitor high-risk areas during the critical spring planting season, with strengthened coordination between forestry patrols and judicial departments to prosecute offenders. The campaign is also mobilizing public participation through awareness programs highlighting the legal consequences of ecological damage and establishing multiple reporting channels for citizens. 

To safeguard environmental achievements, this zero-tolerance approach has combined technological monitoring with grassroots enforcement. The initiative underscores Baotou's commitment to sustainable development while maintaining agricultural productivity.
