We will follow the United States to plant trees?Forest fires frequently Bayeng government claims to plant 1 billion trees

According to the Associated Press, the Bayeng government said on the 25th that the government will plant more than 1 billion trees in forest land that will be burned and died of trees in western United States.

It is reported that in recent years, the frequency of destructive fires that have difficulty regenerating forests in recent years have far exceeded the ability of the government to grow new trees. Officials say that this has caused 4.1 million acres (approximately 1.7 million hectares) idle land to re -plant trees.

The Ministry of Agriculture of the United States said that the number of saplings produced by the nursery must be turned over to solve the problem and meet future needs. Earlier, the U.S. Congress passed a two -party bill last year, requiring the Forestry Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture to plant 1.2 billion trees in the next 10 years. Biden ordered the Forestry Bureau to improve the restoration of the forest in April.

Officials said that the Forestry Bureau plans to increase tree planting efforts in the next few years, and increased from 60,000 acres (24,000 hectares) to about 400,000 acres (162,000 hectares) per year last year. The person in charge of the forest management department of the Forestry Bureau said that most of the supplementary work will be carried out in Western Prefecture. These states occur every year, so demand is the most urgent.

According to reports, the Forestry Bureau spent more than US $ 100 million in the reckle of afforestation this year. Officials in the bureau said that according to the federal infrastructure bill passed last year, expected expenses in the next few years will increase further to $ 260 million per year.

The report pointed out that if you want to achieve this goal, you still face many challenges, from finding enough saplings to hiring enough tree workers. Many saplings are not mature due to drought and insect disasters, and climate change has made drought and insect disasters intense.
