'At dawn, Liu Hai'an puts on his work uniform, packs an electronic tablet,
climbing ropes and food, and then heads off with his colleague to patrol
Wuyishan National Park in Fujian province.

Their route covers the park's core protection zone, with elevations ranging
from 400 to 2,160 meters. Liu and his partner have to scale cliffs, cross
streams and pass through untouched forests, observing and recording vegetation,
trees and all creatures.

"We patrol for more than 15 days each month, with each patrol lasting over
three hours. When we have to go to remote areas for long patrols, it often
takes six to eight hours," said the 31-year-old, who has been working at the
park for seven years.

As full-time rangers, their daily duties include preventing the illegal
expansion of tea plantations, controlling the spread of pine wilt disease, and
stopping forest fires, illegal logging and poaching. If they discover any
illegal activities, they have to report them and take immediate enforcement
measures.'
