　　Continue to strengthen the construction of urban parks. About 18,000 urban parks have been built. The number of community parks, pocket parks, and small green spaces around the people continues to increase. At the same time, in the transformation of old communities, the environmental quality of green spaces between houses in residential communities has been improved. ) The green area has reached 14.8 square meters.

The park has gradually improved facilities for leisure and recreation, sports and fitness, cultural and science popularization, and children's games to meet the needs of different groups of people in the park.

　　[Explanation] Regarding how to rationally arrange greening land in rural areas, Zhou Yuanbo, director of the Department of Land and Space Ecological Restoration of the Ministry of Natural Resources, said that the greening of the "four barrens" and "four sides" suitable for forestry should be encouraged.

　　In the rural areas, one is to encourage the greening of the "four wastes" suitable for forests, such as barren mountains, wastelands, barren beaches, and desolate and damaged mountains.

The second is to green the "four sides". "Four sides" means to green the watersides, roadsides, villages, and our houses in the countryside.

The third is to encourage comprehensive improvement of rural land and use some abandoned and unused land to increase village green space.

The fourth is to encourage the construction of high-standard farmland to scientifically standardize the fortification of land for damage and strengthen the construction of farmland shelterbelts.

At the same time, these degraded woodlands and grasslands should also be greened.

　　[Explanation] In recent years, China's total forest and grass resources have grown rapidly through continuous greening of the country, making China the country with the most forest resources in the world.

Liu Dongsheng, deputy director of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, said that it is necessary to continue to promote scientific greening, focusing on natural restoration, and combining artificial restoration with natural restoration.

　　We should focus on natural restoration, combining artificial restoration with natural restoration, if it is appropriate to seal, fly if it is suitable, fly if it is appropriate to fly, and make it if it is appropriate to build, usually we talk about a combination of "sealing and building".

"Floating" means closing mountains for reforestation, "flying" means aerial seeding afforestation, and "building" means artificial afforestation. The combination of "closing and flying" is a way of restoring how to embody natural restoration.

He also proposed to oppose the formalism in the greening and oppose the "big tree entering the city", which is the unscientific expression of the past such as "the scenery in one night" and "the forest in one night".

Avoid one-sided pursuit of landscaping and oppose image projects at no cost.
