Hunan man cares for forests for 25 years

Du Yibiao, 63, has been patrolling the forests at Sanfengling Mountain in Linwu county, Chenzhou city of Hunan province, for 25 years.

Since 1996 when he moved to work and live at the observatory station at the top of the mountain, he has been taking care of the area by planting trees to make the mountain greener and healthier and patrolling the mountain to reduce fire hazards and also stop people from cutting down the trees.

In addition, he records the water conditions and the biological diversity of the mountain.
