On March 12, 2024, the Office of the National Greening Committee of China released the “2023 China Land Greening Report,” which revealed that a total of 3.998 million hectares of afforestation, 4.379 million hectares of grassland improvement, and 1.905 million hectares of desertification control were completed nationwide throughout the year. Significant achievements have been made in land greening efforts.
A relevant official from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration introduced that over the past year, solid progress has been made in land greening actions. Pilot projects for scientific greening were carried out in six provinces and regions, including Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Chongqing, Sichuan, and Ningxia. An additional 63,000 square kilometers of soil erosion control area was added, and 505 small ecological clean watersheds were constructed. A total of 172 million hectares of natural forest resources were effectively protected, and forest tending tasks covering 1.059 million hectares were completed, along with 181,000 hectares of sustainable forest management pilot tasks.
According to calculations, the area of afforestation completed by China in 2023 alone is equivalent to 16.4% of the size of the United Kingdom. This has had an enormous impact on mitigating climate change and improving the global ecosystem, a truly remarkable achievement!
