On March 29, the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau of Xianju County and PICC Xianju Branch signed the Public Liability Insurance Agreement for Wildlife Accidents in Xianju County, fully launching the insurance mechanism for wildlife damage. In the future, if wild animals cause trouble or get into trouble, the government will pay for insurance.

Xianju County is a large mountainous county, known as eight mountains, one water and one field. The forest area is as high as 2.45 million mu, the forest coverage rate is 79.4%, and there are 27 orders of vertebrates. 64 261 species. A good ecological environment has created comfortable conditions for the reproduction and habitation of wild animals.

However, abundant wildlife resources will also Bring happy troubles. According to the survey, last year, wild animals damaged an area of 2.67 million mu of cash crops in Xianju County last year, resulting in a direct economic loss of 400,000 yuan.

August to November each year when crops are harvested, is a high incidence period for wild animals to visit farmland. Corn, sweet potato, rice, watermelon and other crops are often eaten and trampled. Great loss to the villagers. In August last year, the 3 mu of corn field planted by Zhou was destroyed; in September, the 20 mu of rice planted by Li in Xianjing Village, Baita Town, was also eaten to varying degrees...

The villagers saw that their fields were in a mess, and the culprits were wild animals protected by the state, which could not be beaten or caught. The villagers were very depressed and could only bear the losses silently.

Who should compensate for the damage caused by wild animals? How to achieve harmonious coexistence between residents and wild animals?

Ma Xianwei, a staff member of the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau of Xianju County, introduced that in the future, the government will insure, and farmers can get the following amounts of protection without paying any money: the compensation limit for crop losses per household is 300,000 yuan Yuan (including cash crops), and the other property loss limit of each household is 200,000 yuan (including domestic livestock and poultry).

Villagers can call 95518 to report the case of wild animals causing trouble. In the case of complete procedures, the insurance company will complete the payment within 5 working days. Xianju County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau will regularly supervise the implementation of claims to ensure that farmers' losses can be rescued and compensated in a timely manner.

“Abundant wildlife resources are the golden key for the development of Xianju. This move will achieve a win-win situation in protecting wild animals and ensuring the safety of people’s personal property and property,” said Ma Xianwei.
