Land Rover in the dock
Print Edition
A national reserve in a desert of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region yesterday imposed fines on Land Rover China over a cross-country activity the company held in the reserve.
The Lop Nur Wild Camel National Nature Reserve administrative bureau said an investigation found that the cross-country activity last month involved a fleet of 16 Land Rover vehicles and 49 people. The group entered the reserve illegally, violating Chinese law concerning nature reserves.
Yuan Lei, head of the bureau, said Land Rover China did not report the activity. It would impose the maximum penalty, which includes fines up to 10,000 yuan (US$1,510) for a company, and up to 5,000 yuan for an individual.
Land Rover China said that it will accept the punishment.
