Ranger working to keep Hainan jungle flourishing

Liu Daye, 53, spent 11 years felling trees in Hainan province's Jianfengling Mountains - home to China's largest old-growth tropical rainforest. Now he spends his time preventing others from doing damage to the same area.

"What I'm doing is making up for what I did in the past," he said.

More than 3,000 plant species and over 4,700 animal species are in the rainforest in the western part of the island province.
