During the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period, my country planned to complete 500 million acres of land greening such as afforestation grass

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 9 (Reporter Hu Lu) The National Greening Committee recently compiled the "Outline of the National Land and Greening Plan (2022-2030)". Zhang Wei, director of the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau Ecological Protection and Repairing Department, said on the 9th that according to the planning outline, during the "14th Five -Year Plan" period, my country will complete 500 million acres of land greening such as afforestation grass.

He made the above statement at the press conference held by the National Greening Commission Office and the State Forestry Bureau on the 9th.

Zhang Wei said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, relevant departments in various regions have scientifically launched land greening, comprehensively implementing the forest system, and significant results in land greening. As of 2021, the national forest coverage rate reached 24.02%, the forest accumulation reached 19.493 billion cubic meters, and the forest area and forest accumulation remained "double growth" continuously; the grass -planting plant was improved by 611 million mu, and the continuous degradation trend of the grassland was initially curbed; Complete 300 million acres of sand and sand, the degree of land sandization and wind and sand continued to decrease, and the quality and stability of the ecosystem continued to improve.

He stated that the outline clearly stated that during the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period, it was planned to complete 500 million acres of land greening and other territorial grass, and to control the area of ​​sandy land of 100 million acres.

To this end, the outline proposes the current and future periods. It is necessary to focus on reasonable arrangement of green space, continuously carry out afforestation and greening, comprehensively strengthen urban and rural greening, strengthen the restoration of grassland ecology, promote sand prevention and desertification, consolidate and improve the quality of greening quality , Improve the carbon exchange capacity of ecosystems. In addition, a number of new local tree species, shrub tree species, and precious tree species must be built to strengthen the construction of grass species breeding bases, improve the production capacity and utilization rate of good varieties, increase scientific and technological innovation and promotion, and strengthen support capacity building.
