The construction of Nongfu Spring in Wuyishan National Park in Fujian was investigated, and the official notice responded

　　CCTV News: Recently, a video circulated on the Internet claiming that Nongfu Spring was building water in Wuyishan National Park in Fujian without approval, destroying vegetation. On the evening of January 12, the Wuyishan National Park Administration issued an investigation report.

　　According to the video circulating on the Internet, the Wuyishan National Park Administration organized the National Park Law Enforcement Detachment, Forest Public Security Bureau, Ministry of Ecology and other departments to form an investigation team, rushed to the scene to verify the relevant situation, and issued a notice on the evening of January 12. The notice said that the construction site in the video was the construction access road of Nongfu Spring. According to the construction party, it was transporting materials for the construction of the nearby water intake point. The water intake point is not within the scope of Wuyishan National Park. However, the construction access road for transporting materials for the water intake point was built in October 2019 and was not included in the national park at that time, but about two months later, on December 25, 2019, the "Wuyishan National Park Master Plan" approved by the Fujian Provincial People’s Government also transferred the area of this access road into the national park. In other words, the area where the access road is located now belongs to Wuyi Mountain National Park. According to regulations, the area where the access road is located cannot be constructed.

　　The Wuyishan National Park Administration said that at that time, the construction party was using the access road for material transportation, but no construction was carried out.

　　In addition, when the construction party built the access road in October 2019, there was indeed damage to the forest trees. The Wuyishan Forest Public Security Department has filed an investigation on the damage to the forest trees caused by the construction of the access road in Nongfu Spring on November 18, 2019, and the results have not yet been announced.

　　Journalists will continue to monitor the follow-up to the incident.
