The crime of illegally chopping down trees severely damages the ecological environment and endangers the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.An empirical analysis based on 593 court verdicts demon-strates that such crimes exhibit distinct characteristics in terms of perpetrators,methods employed,and targets.The oc-currence of these crimes is closely related to forest resource monitoring,forest resource management,and case investi-gation and prosecution.Therefore,it is necessary to align preventive measures with the specific characteristics of these crimes by establishing a timber traceability system,instituting a supervision and reporting mechanism,and building an integrity management system.Simultaneously,it is essential to promote reforms in the forest rights system,implement a village-level forest chief responsibility system,and adopt restorative justice practices to curb the occurrence of such crimes in a sustainable manner.
