It is the 31st year for Huang Tongwei to work as a fire lookout on a fire-lookout tower built in 1991 and perched on a peak of a mountain in Rongjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. In 1992, Huang became the fire lookout here and has been responsible for spotting forest fires over an area of more than 80,000 mu (about 5,333 hectares) and preventing illegal logging in certain areas. After marriage, his wife Wu Zaiqiong has become his capable assistant and served as a volunteer fire lookout as well. "Although observing the forests is not an arduous work, we need to be patient, vigilant and accurate," said Huang. During fires seasons, "My wife and I will take turns eating meals. Sometimes we need to keep alerting while eating," said Huang. With

      (230915) -- GANNAN, Sept. 15, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on July 5, 2023 shows the wetland at the Hequ horse ranch in Maqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China's Gansu Province. Located on the northeast rim of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Maqu County boasts an extensive presence of grasslands and wetlands. Maqu, meaning "the Yellow River" in the Tibetan language, is the only county named after "Yellow River" in China. Covering an area of 5.62 million mu (about 374,667 hectares), the Maqu wetlands serve as an important water reserve and eco-zone in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. However, the Maqu wetlands once suffered from shrinking lake areas, grass degradation, and decreasing water conservation capacity. In order to protect the Maqu wetlands from degrading further, Maqu County has continued to implement integrated conservation and restoration projects of its environment in recent years. The wetlands are expanding with increasing water conservation capacity,
