More than 3,000 hectares of Euramerican poplar trees were cut down on Zhongwei Island in the western area of Dongting Lake this winter.
However, this was by no means illegal logging.
On the contrary, the trees were removed to aid a campaign of ecological recovery for the Dongting Lake region in the north of Hunan province.
