China gets greener
President Xi Jinping said, "Clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets(绿水青山
就 是 金 山 银 山 )."With the efforts of China's government and its people, the rate of forest
3
coverage(森林覆盖率) in China has reached 22. 96%, compared with 5. 05% forty years ago,
according to a recent report from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration(SFGA).
Over the past forty years, China planted billions of trees as part of its fight against
expanding(延伸的) deserts, mostly in its north. Each year, people sow seedlings(播种) over an
area nearly the size of Ireland, according to Nature.
In 1978, China began a nationwide tree-planting programme known as the Three North
Shelterbelt Forest Programme, also known as "the Great Green Wall". It has helped to plant more
than 66 billion trees across 13 provinces in the country's north to act as windbreaks(防风林),
according to China Daily.
Since 2018, SFGA has made more efforts to build a greener country. Its purpose is to grow at
least 6.7 million hectares(公顷) of forest every year in the next 15 years. Besides planting more
trees, China has tried to bring back grasslands. It has also used strict forest protection methods and
banned (禁止) all commercial logging(商业伐木) since last August.
The high - speed growth of forests cannot happen without public participation(参与). For
example,Ant Forest, an Alipay mobile payment app, plants real tees for users who get "green
energy"by taking part in low carbon activities. Since 2016, it has helped to plant about 122 million
trees in China's driest areas.
China was praised as "one of the most successful countries worldwide in greening the desert"
by United Nations Environment Programme Executive Director Erik Solheim.
