在新疆地区出土的一种古代少数民族文字——佐卢文中,据有关考释、研究,有一件文书的内容直接关系到森林保护工作.有关的条文是:禁止随便砍伐树木,“连根砍树者,不管是谁都罚马一匹”,在树木的生长期,应防止砍伐.如果砍伐树木大枝,则“罚牝牛一头”.(参见(日)长泽和俊:《楼兰王国》)这大概要算是我国最早的森林保护法了. According to the relevant textual research and study on an ancient minority nationality unearthed in Xinjiang, there is an article directly related to the protection of forests: the prohibition of the arbitrary felling of trees, No matter whoever forsakes a horse “, in the growing season of trees, we should prevent deforestation.” If you cut down the branches of trees, you will be punished. “(See Nagasawa and Jun:” Kingdom of Loulan ") Probably be regarded as China’s earliest forest protection law.
