"Wearing the special ranger clothes you issued, wearing armbands and badges, and holding a loudspeaker, I feel more confident when patrolling the mountains and forests, and I feel that my mission is glorious and my responsibility is heavy. On April 9, Li Shaohua, an ecological ranger in Taoxu Village, Zhuangli Town, put on the brand-new work clothes equipped by the Xiao County Forestry Development Center, and his excitement was beyond words.
In order to effectively strengthen the management and protection of forest resources in the region, improve the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of ecological rangers, and solve the worries of forest rangers, Xiao County Forestry Development Center purchased personal accident insurance for 799 ecological rangers in the county at the beginning of this year, with a one-year insurance period. Recently, the Xiao County Forestry Development Center has issued hats, vests, armbands, badges, gloves, shoes, lighter mops, fire helmets, lighting headlamps, goggles, flashlights, gas masks, axes, fire prevention kits and other forest patrol equipment for each ranger. The county's forest rangers wear new equipment with a unified logo, which has become a beautiful scenery to protect the lucid waters and green mountains.
The comprehensive configuration of the new equipment has greatly stimulated the work enthusiasm of the forest rangers, enhanced the sense of mission of patrolling the mountains and forests, further improved the emergency reserve capacity of the county's forest fire prevention, increased the intensity of the rangers to patrol forest resources, and provided a strong material guarantee for the protection of forest resources and the prevention of forest fires. The rangers said that in the past, due to the lack of special equipment for ecological rangers, the recognition and awareness in the patrol performance were not high, and the patrol effect was not ideal. Now with the blessing of these new equipment, the effect of patrolling the mountains and forests is very good. In the future, we will conscientiously perform our duties and responsibilities, take the initiative to take the initiative, give full play to the role of forest rangers in source management and protection, and build a solid green barrier for the construction of ecological civilization.
It is reported that since the establishment of the ecological ranger poverty alleviation public welfare post in Xiao County in 2016, a total of 799 ecological rangers have been selected and hired to take on the important task of managing and protecting the county's forest resources. In recent years, in order to create a model of ecological protection in northern Anhui for the reform of the forest chief system, combined with the requirements of the national rural revitalization strategy, Xiao County has comprehensively strengthened the performance management of ecological rangers, continuously improved the performance ability and patrol effectiveness of forest rangers, and divided the county's forest land into 799 grids, each grid is managed and protected by a forest ranger, which basically realizes the overall requirements of "mountains are managed, forests are protected, fires are prevented, and responsibilities are borne".
