CCTV News:Recently, a video claiming that Nongfu Spring was building water in Wuyishan National Park without approval and destroying vegetation circulated on the Internet. In response, the Wuyishan National Park Administration organized an investigation team from the National Park Law Enforcement Detachment, the Forest Public Security Bureau, the Ministry of Ecology and other departments to go to the scene to verify the situation. And issued a notice on the evening of January 12.
Whistleblower:Now large machinery is under construction in Wuyishan National Park, the large equipment of Nongfu Spring. Said that they did not pass through Wuyishan National Park, they have been saying this, and they have been saying this to everyone. Said that they did not deforestation in the national park. Now what? It is 19:28 on January 11, 2020, and they have been working here, and they are still working here at night. I feel it is my duty as a citizen to report such a situation.
It was only after the fact that it was allocated to the park, and the deforestation situation has been investigated
The construction site in the video is the water intake point of Nongfu Spring, but it is not within the scope of Wuyi Mountain National Park and is more than 50 meters away from the park boundary.
The construction party built a construction access road of about 150 meters near the water intake point. The construction time was October 2019. At that time, the area where the access road is located was not included in the national park. It was not until December 25, 2019 that the "Wuyishan National Park Master Plan" approved by the Fujian Provincial People’s Government transferred the area of this access road to the national park. Other original roads have not been widened, refurbished or damaged along the way.
Regarding the destruction of forest trees during the construction of the access road and whether it has been approved, the Wuyishan Forest Public Security Department has filed an investigation on November 18, 2019. It is still under investigation.
