The “2022 China Land Greening Status Bulletin” was released Sunday by the Office of the National Afforestation Committee. According to the bulletin, China has completed 3.83 million hectares of afforestation, 3.214 million hectares of improved grass, and 1.8473 million hectares of sandy and rocky desertification land.
On the large screen of the National Forest and Grass Ecological Network Awareness System of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, we can see these two satellite remote sensing images of forest and grassland resources, which were taken in 2010 and 2021 respectively.
Up to now, the national forest coverage rate has reached 24.02%, with the forest volume reaching 19.493 billion cubic meters, maintaining the "double growth" of forest area and volume for more than 30 consecutive years. China's land greening has achieved remarkable progress, laying a solid foundation for maintaining national ecological security, improving people's well-being and promoting green development.
