3月5日，海南省白沙县牙叉镇牙港村委会那凡村，在种植的槟榔树遭到白沙农场砍伐后，村民一怒之下将自种的以及农场所种的大批槟榔树悉数砍倒。据村民透露，涉事的土地有四十余亩，是村民集体土地，十年前被国营白沙农场宣称为农场所有后，双方互不相让，共同在该土地上种植槟榔树，过去几年，农场每年都要砍十余棵村民种植的槟榔树，村民没有计较，但今年一下砍了460棵，最终激怒了村民。
On March 5, in Nafan Village (under the Yagang Village Committee) of Yacha Town, Baisha County, Hainan Province, furious villagers cut down a massive number of betel nut trees—including both their own and those planted by the Baisha Farm—in retaliation after the farm had chopped down trees planted by the villagers.
According to the villagers, the land in dispute spans over 40 mu (approximately 6.6 acres) and is collective village land. Ten years ago, after the state-owned Baisha Farm claimed ownership of the plot, both sides refused to back down and ended up jointly planting betel nut trees on the same land. Over the past few years, the farm would cut down a dozen or so of the villagers’ trees annually, which the villagers let slide. This year, however, the farm abruptly felled 460 trees, ultimately pushing the villagers over the edge.
