In recent years, my country has further promoted the action of land greening, and the overall forest resources have shown a trend of continuous increase in quantity, quality and function.

With the national mobilization, the whole people's actions, and the joint participation of the whole society, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has completed a total of 960 million mu of afforestation, and the pace of land greening has been accelerated in an all-round way.

  March 21st is International Day of Forests.

At present, from Lingnan to North China, from Jiangnan water town to the Loess Plateau, the cadres and the masses in all parts of our country are planting greenery and afforestation, contributing to the greening and beauty of the motherland.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has further promoted large-scale land greening activities, and a total of 960 million mu of forests have been completed.

The national forest coverage rate increased by 2.68 percentage points to 23.04%; the net increase of forest stock was 3.839 billion cubic meters to 17.56 billion cubic meters; the total carbon storage of forest vegetation increased by 1.375 billion tons to 9.2 billion tons.

The overall development trend of my country's forest resources continues to increase in quantity, quality and function, laying an increasingly solid foundation for maintaining ecological security, improving people's livelihood, and promoting green development.

  With joint participation, the forest area has increased by nearly 375 million mu in the past 10 years

  According to reports, at present, my country's national voluntary tree planting responsibility has expanded to more than 50 types of eight categories, especially the "Internet + national voluntary tree planting" form, so that "planting trees at will, anywhere, and anytime" has gradually become a reality.

As of the end of last year, a total of 17.5 billion people of school-age citizens across the country participated in voluntary tree planting, and a total of 78.1 billion trees were planted (including conversion).

  In the past few days, on a barren mountain in Baizhushan Village, Changtang Town, Jizhou District, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, villagers are planting high-yielding camellia seedlings, and technicians from the Forestry Bureau are providing technical guidance on the spot.

In recent years, Jizhou District has combined the restoration of bare ground with forest greening, beautification, coloring and precious construction, and carried out village greening for 100 natural villages along the highway.

  In Xuejiaping Forest Farm, Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, Wang Yonghong, the leader of the afforestation team, and his team members planted saplings on the rocky mountain on the cliff.

Most of the once barren hills on both sides of the Yellow River have been covered with green arborvitae.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has insisted on giving play to the main role of key ecological projects in land greening and ecological improvement. Natural forest protection projects have completed construction tasks of 61.912 million mu, returning farmland to forests and grasslands 99.392 million mu, and key points such as the Three Norths and the Yangtze River. The shelterbelt project has planted 183 million mu of forest, the Beijing-Tianjin sandstorm source control project has completed the construction task of 60.752 million mu, the rock desertification comprehensive control project has completed 29.72 million mu, and the national reserve forest project has completed 85.505 million mu.

  National mobilization, all people's hands-on, and the whole society's joint participation, the pace of land greening has been accelerated in an all-round way.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country's forest area has increased by nearly 375 million mu, of which the area of ​​artificial forests ranks first in the world.

  Science, ecology, thrift, land greening pays attention to high quality

  Land greening is more about quantity than quality.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, focusing on solving the four key issues of "where", "what to plant", "how to plant" and "how to manage", "high quality" has become the key word of afforestation and greening work, and my country has gradually stepped out of a scientific, Ecological, frugal green road.

  In order to solve the problem of where to plant trees, all parts of Henan have actively explored the potential of afforestation land, making good use of rocky desertified land, desertified land, difficult land in mountainous areas, and "four sides" gaps in rural areas. A total of 8.15 million mu of green land has been newly excavated in the province. .

  Optimize the tree species structure and solve the problem of planting.

All localities adhere to the principle of water for greenness and measure water for travel. Forests are suitable for forests, grasses are suitable for grasses, and famines are suitable for famines. Local tree species are actively used for afforestation and greening.

  Expand the stock of incremental optimization, consolidate and improve forest quality.

Climbing along the winding cliffside trail of Yufeng Mountain, Yubei District, Chongqing, a newly planted forest comes into view.

"It used to be a masson pine forest, which was infected with pine wood nematode disease. After we treated the diseased wood, we replanted native broad-leaved tree species such as nanmu and camphor." Zhu Jiagao, head of the voluntary tree planting base of Yufeng Mountain Forest Park, introduced that now, the place has It has become a high-quality urban green belt.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all localities have actively implemented targeted forest quality improvement projects, with an average of 124 million mu of forest tending annually, and the quality, stability and carbon sink capacity of forest ecosystems have steadily improved.

  Steady the "ecological bowl", the days are getting more and more prosperous

  In Shiji Town, Nanqiao District, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, in the 10,000-mu hemp oak industry base of Luchai River, there are stands of gneissima oak trees.

Du Changchun, chairman of the Changchun Charcoal Professional Cooperative in Chuzhou City, introduced that in addition to being processed into environmentally friendly charcoal, its branches are also high-quality raw materials for edible fungus cultivation, and oak leaves are also the favorite food of tussah silkworms.

The cooperative has attracted 12,000 farmers and developed industrial chains such as charcoal, edible fungi, tussah, and forest products and chemicals, with an annual output value of more than 1 billion yuan.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all localities have earnestly practiced the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and achieved ecological protection, forestry benefits, and benefits for the people.

At present, the total output value of the national forestry industry has exceeded 8 trillion yuan, and three pillar industries with an output value of over one trillion yuan have been formed, including economic forests, wood and bamboo processing, and ecological tourism and health care. industry.

Among them, the national underforest economic management and utilization of forest land area exceeds 600 million mu, and the number of employees reaches 34 million.

  "Stand firmly with the 'ecological bowl', and the days will become more prosperous." said Li Shicai, a poverty-stricken household in Shangqin Village, Pingshan Township, Long'an County, Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. In addition, star anise planting and understory cattle raising have been developed. Last year, the family's per capita income reached 11,000 yuan.

Across the country, more than 1.1 million ecological forest rangers like him have achieved "one person protecting the forest and one household out of poverty".

  People live up to the green hills, and the green hills will certainly live up to people.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, forestry and grass departments at all levels have vigorously promoted ecological compensation for poverty alleviation, land greening, and ecological industry poverty alleviation, helping more than 20 million people get rid of poverty and increase their income.
