China is greener, China's ecosystem is better!
I have to say that China is really a "cow" in maintaining the ecosystem, in the world, China said second, no one may dare to say first, because no country can do so well, no, the mainland announced the results of the "Three Landmark Battles of the Three North Project", so that everyone once again saw that China's ecosystem has become better.
However, as China has become better, it is also facing a worldwide problem.
Let's start by explaining what China's major achievements mean for China.
More than 10 million acres! China is greener
According to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, since the launch of the three landmark campaigns of the Three-North Project, the three landmark campaigns of the Three-North Project have progressed very smoothly since they were launched in the second half of 2023, and more than 10 million mu of afforestation and grass planting have been achieved -- that is to say, more than 10 million mu have been "turned green" in half a year.
Once again, it has dramatically changed the overall ecosystem of the mainland, which means that China is greener, and this time it highlights some of the achievements of the mainland city of Ordos, which has completed the treatment of more than 1.9 million mu of desertified land, with an average of more than 10,000 mu of desertified land per day.
In Liaoning, the main battlefield of the "two major sandy land annihilation wars" in Horqin and Hunshandak, 23 specific projects are still being promoted, and other regions are also developing simultaneously, and more than 10 million acres of afforestation and grass planting have been completed in the three landmark battles of the Three North Project.
At the same time, according to the requirements of the overall plan of the Three-North Project, the mainland will complete the target task of 600 million mu by 2030, including 200 million mu of desertified land and 400 million mu of ecological protection and restoration.
Of course, from the target of 10 million mu to 600 million mu, this is indeed far behind, but the mainland is constantly strengthening its changes, which also means that its breakthrough is inevitable, so the next will definitely be a larger-scale implementation of ecosystem maintenance.
However, after this part of the change, China will definitely be greener, because afforestation and grass planting will increase the overall greening rate of the mainland. According to the data released in 2023, the mainland has achieved a forest area of 231 million hectares, with a forest coverage rate of 24.02%, a grassland area of 265 million hectares, and a grassland comprehensive vegetation coverage of 50.32%.
Then before 2030, from the perspective of the stage of "afforestation and grass planting", it is inevitable that more than 24.02% of the forest coverage rate will be achieved, so China will become greener, and everyone's living circle - the ecological circle will be better in the future.
At the same time, I believe that most people should also see that almost all of their hometowns are covered by vegetation, and the picture of "small bridges and flowing water" is also presenting, which shows that China's ecosystem has become better, and cities are better illustrated, almost a few kilometers apart, are covered by ecological parks, and the roads are covered by lush vegetation.
So, is there anyone who denies that there is no change in the ecosystem? That must be a wrong idea, and the change in China's ecosystem is already very clear.
Moreover, China's ecosystem has improved, not only for China, but also for the world.
NASA and Nature praise China: The earth is greener because of China
That's right, in addition to China's own achievements, the world has also seen the changes in China's ecosystem, making the entire earth's ecosystem better, and has successively said that China's ecological contribution to the earth is very strong.
Data from NASA and Nature have been used to illustrate all this, and by comparing data since the beginning of the 21st century, plus satellite data from 2000 to 2017, China and India are responsible for the increase in the Earth's vegetation area.
Among them, 42% of China's new vegetation leaf area is forest, 32% is agricultural land, while India's green area is mainly due to the expansion of agricultural land (82%), and the contribution of forests is smaller (4.4%). As can be seen from this data, although the credit is attributed to China, India. But in reality, only China is the one that can change the planet in the true sense of the word.
Because China's forest coverage rate has increased, it is really "forest change", while India is mainly agricultural, so NASA and Nature praise China, and the earth is greener because of China.
Of course, reforestation and other projects on the mainland are still continuing, and are expected to peak at 26% in 2035, so China's ecosystem will only be better in the future, but China is also facing global problems.
Why is China also facing global problems?
Everyone knows that afforestation, in addition to changing the ecosystems of the continents, has symbolic significance for the entire planet. The world is looking forward to maintaining ecosystems through afforestation, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, etc.
However, there are not many countries that can really protect the earth, so that the earth is becoming more and more extreme.
That's right, according to a 2023 Global Forest Watch report, despite recent global commitments to zero deforestation by 2030, more tropical forests were lost in 2022 than in 2021, with a total of about 41,000 square kilometers of rainforest lost globally, most of which was destroyed to make room for livestock and commercial crops.
Brazil accounted for 43 per cent of the forest loss, while Congo and Bolivia accounted for 13 per cent and 9 per cent, respectively.
You said that even if China planted all its own land with trees, it would be difficult to completely reverse the decline of the earth's forest area, so China is also facing a global problem.
Moreover, the whole earth is a whole, and changes in any region will affect other regions. It's just that relative to the impact of "regionalization", this is a question of strength and weakness.
This is not to say that afforestation in China is useless, but from a regional point of view, it is all beneficial. But from a global perspective, China's changes can only be said to be the "tip of the iceberg" of impact, and it needs to be bigger – it needs a global effort to change the planet, otherwise there is no way.
It's like China reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and developing clean energy on a large scale, but other countries don't follow suit, so that global warming continues to increase.
According to Earth System Science Data, global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels rose again in 2023 to reach record levels and are expected to reach 36.8 billion tons, up 1.1% from 2022. Do you think the earth can be reversed? It's really hard. Therefore, even when there is time, many people say that it is useless to do this, and they work their own, but other countries do not do it.
From a scientific point of view, if we don't do it, the earth will change even worse.
If China does it, I hope it can also enable other countries to do it, although the continent cannot completely change the earth, but a small contribution, it can be regarded as a "small relief" of the earth's change, which is also a good thing, depending on how you look at the problem.
