People started to worry if migratory birds would return again. In 1984, the Hongtupo Forest Police Station was set up. The officers worked on the mountain, trying to find migratory birds and stop people from hunting them. The job was really difficult. They might lose their way or meet dangerous animals. The officers also tried to tell villagers the importance of protecting birds and other wild animals. They visited the villagers door to door and helped them with farm work. They even organized (组织 ) activities in schools to get their messages across to children. Now, even children know that they should love birds. The mountain gets greener and becomes a bird-protecting mountain. Many people have opened bed-and-breakfasts (民宿) for birdwatchers. “The village has changed a lot, and we don’t hunt birds anymore.” people say.
