China News Service, Beijing, September 9 (Reporter Chen Su) China's State Forestry and Grassland Administration (National Forestry and Grassland Administration) introduced the "National Land Greening Planning Outline (2022-2030)" (referred to as "Outline") on the 9th. By 2025, the green coverage rate of urban built-up areas in China will reach 43%, and the green coverage rate of villages will reach 32%.
Recently, the National Greening Committee has compiled and completed the "National Land Greening Planning Outline (2022-2030)", which comprehensively laid out the current and future China's land greening work, and clarified the timetable and roadmap for the high-quality development of China's land and greening cause. .
On the 9th, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration held a press conference to introduce the relevant situation of the "Planning".
Zhang Wei, director of the Department of Ecological Protection and Restoration (Office of the National Greening Committee) of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, said that in recent years, China has unswervingly followed the path of ecological priority and green development, and coordinated the promotion of integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand. , the full implementation of the forest chief system, land greening work has achieved remarkable results.
As of 2021, the national forest coverage rate will reach 24.02%, the forest volume will reach 19.493 billion cubic meters, and the forest area and forest volume will maintain a "double growth"; The continuous degradation of grassland has been initially curbed; 300 million mu of desertification control has been completed, and the degree of land desertification and sandstorm hazards have been continuously reduced; the quality and stability of the ecosystem have been continuously improved, and the ecological awareness of the whole society has been significantly enhanced.
The "Outline" clarifies the main goals during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period (2021-2025), planning to complete 500 million mu of land greening such as afforestation and grass cultivation, and 100 million mu of desertified land.
The green coverage rate of urban built-up areas reached 43%, and the green coverage rate of villages reached 32%.
The carbon sequestration capacity of ecosystems will be further enhanced, the role of ecological security barriers will be brought into play, and the urban and rural living environment will be significantly improved.
By 2030, the quality and stability of natural ecosystems will continue to improve, the control of desertified land and soil erosion will be steadily advanced, the increase in carbon sinks in the ecosystem will be significantly increased, the supply capacity of ecological products will be significantly enhanced, the national ecological security barrier will be strengthened, and ecological conditions will continue to improve. .
Regarding the measures to further improve urban and rural greening, Zhang Wei said that the "Outline" clearly states that it is necessary to promote the construction of beautiful and livable urban and rural areas, continue to carry out the demonstration and creation of forest cities and garden cities, strengthen the protection and management of ancient and famous trees, and do not arbitrarily relocate and cut down big and old trees. Tree.
Strengthen the construction of green channel network, carry out greening along water conservancy projects and around rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs, strengthen the construction of farmland shelter forests, and innovate the voluntary tree planting by the whole people.
