In the past, we paid attention to expanding the area and increasing the amount of greening. During the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, we put the precise improvement of forest quality and efficiency in a higher position, organically combined with the promotion of large-scale land greening, and achieved new breakthroughs in promotion.

65438+February 17, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the work of ecological protection and restoration. Liu Dongsheng, deputy director of the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau, pointed out at the press conference that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, land greening should adhere to the combination of expanding area, increasing greening, improving quality and increasing efficiency.

In the past five years, 689 million mu has been planted in China, including 529 million mu of closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, 638 million mu of tending, 65.438+0.2 billion mu of grazing prohibition, and 2.6 billion mu of grass and livestock balance. The two binding indicators of forest coverage rate and forest volume were completed on schedule. Since 20 18, more than two-thirds of the national afforestation tasks have reached poor areas, giving priority to poor people to participate in afforestation and obtain labor income. Over the past five years, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, together with the Ministry of Finance and the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, has recruited 165438+ 10,000 ecological rangers in poverty-stricken areas, and the central government allocated 20.5 billion yuan. The State Forestry and Grassland Administration, combined with other assistance measures, has accurately driven more than 3 million people out of poverty and increased their income.

Liu Dongsheng pointed out that through the large-scale promotion of land greening, the annual afforestation area exceeded 654.38 billion mu. At the same time, strengthen grassland protection and restoration, implement the project of improving the quality of forest and grass accurately, and cultivate more than 65.438+0.2 billion mu of forest every year. In addition, some traditional mechanisms and practices of land greening in the past have been further developed, such as large-scale projects to promote development, the combination of land greening and resource protection, and the large-scale promotion of comprehensive voluntary tree planting, which has achieved a closer combination of land greening and major national development strategies. Combine capacity expansion and greening with quality improvement and efficiency improvement. In the past, land greening focused on expanding the area and increasing the amount of greening. In addition, some traditional mechanisms and practices of land greening in China have been further developed.
