First edition, untraced in institutional libraries, of this manual issued by the government of Yunnan Province to protect the region's most valuable natural resource. Readers are instructed through text and image to avoid naked flames, including the burning of incense at grave sites, and to be on the lookout for "saboteurs" star…ting fires deliberately. The short introduction stresses the importance of forests to the lives of everyday people and to economic development. Since 1949, forest coverage as a percentage of Yunnan's size has fallen from 50 to 12 per cent. Landscape octavo, pp. [18]. With colour illustrations on 16 pp. Text in Chinese. Original pictorial wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, front cover lettered in red and black. Wrappers lightly rubbed and creased, small hole in rear wrapper, offsetting and light foxing internally: very good.
