Xi inspects forest farm in Hebei province

Greening the land, improving ecosystem are goals

Over the years, China has made great efforts to green its vast land and improve the ecological environment.

In June, the State Council issued a guideline on scientific measures in afforestation. It urges efforts to grow trees and grass following the inherent rules of the ecosystem to improve the stability of the ecosystem and its capacity for self-repair.

Xi has on many occasions called for more afforestation efforts and protecting forest resources.

According to forestry and grassland authorities, the country has curbed the expansion of desertification, with the area of deserts shrinking by an annual average of 2,424 square kilometers.
