To advance the anti-crime campaign and intensify efforts against illegal acts damaging forests, grasslands, and wetlands, as well as disruptive activities within the forestry and grassland sector, the Hangjinhou Banner Forestry and Grassland Bureau is publicly soliciting leads on criminal networks and related misconduct.

This initiative aims to uncover the forces shielding such illegal operations, purify the local ecological and business environment, and protect the safety of ecosystems and the lawful rights of citizens. The following categories of reports are now being accepted:

First, illegal occupation and damage to forestry and grassland resources, including organized land clearance, cultivation or enclosure of woodlands, grasslands and wetlands, unlawful tree cutting or grass destruction, and unsanctioned sand or soil extraction carried out by families, clans or criminal gangs. Second, offenses against wildlife, including the organized hunting and trading of wild animals or plants, destruction of their habitats, and participation in illicit profit chains linked to organized crime. Third, corruption and shielding conduct, such as public officials acting as protectors for those breaking laws in forestry and grassland-related matters or assisting offenders in evading supervision. Fourth, other criminal acts that harm forestry, grassland and wetland resources or infringe upon the interests of the people.

When submitting a report, the details provided must be truthful and factual. It is recommended that informants include the name of the accused individual or entity, their address, and the time, location, specifics and supporting evidence of the violation, such as photographs or video footage. To facilitate verification and follow-up, informants are encouraged to provide their real names and contact details.

Additionally, any attempt to fabricate facts, make malicious accusations, or file fraudulent reports will result in legal consequences in accordance with the law. Receiving authorities will strictly protect the privacy of informants, duly safeguard their lawful rights, and any breach of confidential information or retaliation against informants will be subject to serious disciplinary or legal action.

Multiple channels are available for submitting reports. The designated authority is the Hangjinhou Banner Forestry and Grassland Bureau, which can be reached by phone at 0478-6655800 or by mail addressed to the bureau's office. Alternatively, the national anti-crime reporting platform '12337' can be accessed online to submit leads.

All citizens and organizations are urged to come forward with any relevant information to support the protection of forestry and grassland resources in the Hangjinhou Banner.
