"Today, the ancient trees are better protected under a 'forest chief system' and each ancient tree has a designated caretaker," Peng said.

The villagers have installed lightning rods on the tree, set up fire escape channels around it, and patrol it daily to make sure it is free from pests and diseases, he added.
