Lancang county, Yunnan Province is located in the southwestern border of Yunnan Province, , China and has abundant forest resources. At the same time, there are many cases of illegal logging and deforestation in Lancang county. In the county, the cases of illegal logging and deforestation of Pinus kesiya were mainly carried out by rural personnel, the single-person case was converted into a form of gang, the remoteness of the crime site makes it difficult to find and investigate, especially in most of the rural collective forests, etc. The main reasons for its occurrence are: the general public’s lack of legal awareness and economic poverty. A series of preventive measures and strike strategies, such as perfecting the system of recruiting personnel and intensifying the crackdown on such cases, were proposed to provide theoretical support for the protection and development of Pinus kesiya resources Lancang County.
