Management, protection improved in Xinjiang's Ganjia Lake forest region

Staff members patrol the Ganjia Lake forest region in Wusu City of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Dec. 4, 2021. As winter approaches, authorities have been paying more attention to forest fire prevention in the Ganjia Lake forest region in the west of Junggar Basin. Forest rangers have also stepped up their patrolling efforts. In the Ganjia Lake forest region, there are 18 forest management and protection stations that are responsible for forest fireproofing, management of forest resources and grassland and wild animal protection. With improved transportation, staff members can now monitor a considerably larger area of woodland.
