　　How does China achieve this goal?

At the second quarter regular press conference of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration held on the 27th, Wu Xiuli, a first-level inspector of the Department of Ecological Protection and Restoration of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration of China, introduced the goal of "planting 70 billion trees within 10 years".

At the same time, we will further promote the nationwide voluntary tree planting and departmental greening, extensively mobilize social afforestation, and increase the amount of greenery according to local conditions.

　　Wu Xiuli said that from 2021 to 2025, China plans to afforestation 270 million mu, and forest tend to 100 million mu.

From 2026 to 2030, taking into account the tighter afforestation space constraints, the planned tasks of artificial afforestation will gradually decrease, and the planned tasks such as closing mountains for afforestation and restoration of degraded forests for the purpose of improving forest quality will increase. It is estimated that artificial afforestation and aerial seeding will reach 60 million mu , closing mountains for afforestation, restoration of degraded forests, and forest tending of 210 million mu.

　　She said that in accordance with relevant technical regulations, the average planting density is 110 trees per mu for artificial afforestation and 100 trees per mu for aerial seeding afforestation, and the average protection and restoration trees are 130 trees per mu for forest closure, 60 trees per mu for degraded forest restoration, and forest tending estimates. 50 plants per acre.

Over the next ten years, China will plant, protect and restore 65.3 billion trees.
