Many people would doubt why the trees that have grown up here are to be felled in a planned way. A staff member of the farm explains that forest protection is not "just planting without cutting". Most of the trees here are planted forest, and the forest species are relatively single, unlike natural forests that can adapt on their own and survive the fittest. The selective cutting of plantation forests is more like thinning when farmers plant crops. Only in this way can the nutrient area be expanded and diseased plants can also be removed to ensure the healthy development of the forest areas.

Although selective logging has benefits, the people of Saihanba do not value immediate benefits. They have set their sights on decades later. The current income is not a priority of magnitude compared with the ecological benefits generated in the future.
