Plant trees and embrace spring with green
March 12th is the 43rd Arbor Day in my country, and the greening and preservation of greenery has once again entered the public eye.
What changes have taken place in my country in the form of voluntary tree planting in recent years?
What new situations are facing my country's continuous large-scale greening of the country?
What new measures will it take?
The journalist made an interview about this.
The whole people fulfill their responsibilities for "planting" and create a road to greening the land with Chinese characteristics
In early spring in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is another good time for planting trees and sowing green.
In the former "Sea of Death" Kubuqi Desert, the spring tree planting activity "Kubuqi Arbor Day" was launched as scheduled.
For 16 years, the Kubuqi Arbor Day has never stopped and has become a tradition.
After more than 30 years of effective management, the vegetation coverage rate in Kubuqi has reached 53%, and the number of animal and plant species has increased to more than 500.
In Pengjiamen Natural Village, Peimo Village Committee, Jizhou District, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, many villagers are rolling up their sleeves and picking up shovel to plant trees.
With the promotion of national tree planting and high-quality greening projects, the village is full of trees.
Thanks to land preparation and afforestation in key areas such as Provincial Highway S442 and Changji-Jiangxi High-speed Railway, more than 500 natural villages have shown a new ecological outlook.
Like Jizhou District, many villages now use rural greenways and rural forest parks to build forest towns, and implement reforestation and greening of wasteland around the villages, borrowing and spoil grounds, etc., so that green can enter the village. Every corner.
On March 11, the Office of the National Greening Committee issued the "Communiqué on China's Land Greening Status in 2020" (hereinafter referred to as the "Communiqué").
According to the "Communiqué" data, in 2020, 6.77 million hectares of afforestation, 8.37 million hectares of forest tending, 2.83 million hectares of grassland improved, and 2.096 million hectares of sand prevention and control will be completed nationwide in 2020, which effectively guarantees that the goals of the 13th Five-Year Plan will be achieved on schedule. Make an important contribution to building a well-off society in an all-round way, building an ecological civilization and a beautiful China.
"From the central to the local, from the city to the village, the whole people are responsible for'planting' and creating a green road with Chinese characteristics." Liu Dongsheng, deputy director of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, pointed out that China's forest coverage rate has risen from the 20th century. In the early 1980s, the 12% increased to the current 23.04%, the forest stock volume increased from 9.028 billion cubic meters to 17.56 billion cubic meters, the area of planted forests ranked first in the world, and the green coverage rate of urban built-up areas nationwide increased from 10.1% to 41.11 %, the urban per capita park green area has increased from 3.45 square meters to 14.80 square meters, and the urban and rural human settlement environment has generally changed from yellow to green and from green to beautiful.
Online and offline integration, "tree planting in the cloud" gives charity a new form
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign.
On March 10th, Hangzhou Botanical Garden, a special "Internet + National Voluntary Tree Planting" base awarding and voluntary tree planting activities are being held.
The biggest highlight of this tree planting activity is the use of Internet and other technologies to fulfill the legal tree planting obligations for citizens of the right age, and provide various forms of due diligence, such as online and offline voluntary services, afforestation and greening, planting and adoption, and nurturing, management and protection. The service guarantee provides the citizens with a good place for voluntary tree planting and leisure travel.
"In the practice of tree planting and green protection, everyone can accumulate energy through low-carbon travel, and use this green energy to irrigate public welfare forests, which can then be converted into physical trees and planted in arid areas." Said Jiang Shuiheng, a staff member from the Botanical Garden Office of Xixi Scenic Area, West Lake, Hangzhou .
From online to offline, from virtual energy to actual tree planting, "Internet+" provides a new path for the voluntary tree planting of the whole people and a new interpretation space for the Arbor Day.
The "Communiqué" shows that in 2020, my country's voluntary tree planting will continue to enrich and expand, and the system of voluntary tree planting bases at all levels and types will be gradually improved, and the "Internet + voluntary tree planting by the whole people" will continue to be promoted.
The annual visits of the National Voluntary Tree Planting Network exceeded 24 million, and more than 8.6 million due diligence certificates were issued.
Liu Dongsheng pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of ecological civilization has been incorporated into the overall layout of the "five in one". Love, planting and protecting green have become the conscious actions of the whole party and people of all ethnic groups.
The National Afforestation Committee issued the "Management Measures for Compulsory Tree Planting by the People (Trial)", which extends the compulsory tree planting by the people to more than 50 categories in eight categories, including afforestation, management, maintenance, planting and adoption, donations and materials, and voluntary services.
"We have launched a pilot program of'Internet + voluntary tree planting by all people' in 15 provinces, and established a number of bases of'Internet + voluntary tree planting by all people'. In reality, voluntary tree planting by the whole people has entered a new stage of online and offline integration and development, and it has become a vivid practice of building an ecological civilization and a beautiful China." Liu Dongsheng said.
System repair, comprehensive management, and take the road of scientific, ecological and frugal greening
In 2020, although new progress and new results have been achieved in my country's land greening work, it still faces many difficulties and challenges compared with the requirements of ecological civilization construction and high-quality development.
At present, the problems of insufficient total ecological resources, low quality, and weak functions still exist in China. The multiple benefits of the natural ecosystem have not been fully utilized, and the scientific greening concept needs to be further deepened and implemented.
Land greening still needs to continue to make efforts to make up for shortcomings and continuously improve quality and level.
Liu Dongsheng believes that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, our land greening should be based on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, and build a new development pattern, from the four perspectives of "what kind of", "what to plant", "how to plant" and "how to manage". Come to comprehensively review, and then promote the high-quality development of national land greening.
In response to the question of "Which", Liu Dongsheng stated that it is necessary to use the results of the "Three National Land Adjustments" to scientifically delineate afforestation and greening land in accordance with national land and space planning, rationally arrange the annual national land greening tasks, and achieve the tasks directly to the county. Management.
In the land greening, "what to plant" and "how to plant" also test the implementation of scientific concepts and the level of scientific decision-making.
In this regard, experts said that full consideration should be given to the carrying capacity of water resources, and water should be used to determine greenness and measure water. Forests are suitable for forests, grasses are suitable for forests, and grasses are suitable for waste. The integration of forests and grasses should be promoted, and native trees and grasses should be actively used. Kind of greening.
Adhere to natural restoration as the mainstay, combine artificial restoration with natural restoration, promote the overall protection, systematic restoration, and comprehensive management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and sands, and take the road of scientific, ecological, and frugal greening.
While increasing green, we must also do a good job in protecting green.
“We must adhere to the classification and implementation of policies. The southern, eastern, and central regions should focus on consolidating existing results, focusing on the advantages of stocks, focusing on adjusting structure and improving quality, and actively carry out forest tending and restoration of degraded forests, cultivate large-diameter timber and precious tree species, and improve Ecosystem quality and stability; the western and northern regions make full use of suitable green space, continue to promote the afforestation and grass cultivation on difficult sites, increase the management and protection of new forest land, and resolutely fight the tough battle to increase greenery and expand greenery in ecologically fragile areas." Liu Dongsheng said.
