In April, the spring sun shines and the greenery surges.
Green is the true color of ecology and the background color of development.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the mainland has completed a total of 1.68 billion mu of land greening tasks. The protected area of planted forests is 1.314 billion mu, ranking first in the world.
Looking at the whole world, in the past 20 years, China has contributed 25% of the world's new green area, ranking first in the world.
Why are the Chinese so obsessed with "green"?
As early as 2013, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Hainan, he clarified this truth from the perspective of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and the happiness and well-being of the people: "For people's survival, gold and silver mountains are important, but lucid waters and lush mountains are an important part of people's happy life, which cannot be replaced by money. If you earn money, but the air and drinking water are not up to standard, how can you be happy."
The construction of ecological civilization is a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and green is the background color and important symbol of accelerating the construction of ecological civilization and promoting China's high-quality development.
On April 3, 2024, when participating in the voluntary tree-planting activity in the capital, the general secretary emphasized that the greening of the motherland should be carried out simultaneously to expand, rejuvenate and protect greenery. The simultaneous development of the three "greens" has pointed out the target path for writing a new answer sheet for China's green.
On April 3, 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Lucheng Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing to participate in the capital's voluntary tree planting activities.
Forests are not only the "parasols" and "humidifiers" of cities, but also an important component to prevent smog, purify the air, maintain water and soil, conserve water sources, and maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
To expand greenery is to scientifically promote large-scale land greening, to plant trees in the right place, to adapt the law at the right time, to plant one tree to live, and to build one piece into another. In the process of greening the mainland's land, desert management is a microcosm of the continuous "greening".
Saihanba, which used to be "covered by yellow sand and birds without perching trees", has now become a million acres of artificial forest through the efforts of generations of foresters, and the Mu Us Desert, which has been formed for more than 1,000 years, is now an oasis in the insistence of the sand control people to "plant one tree and live one tree and build one piece into a piece......
From "sand in and people out" to "green in and sand out", China's green map continues to expand.

"Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."
To rejuvenate green, it is necessary to pay attention to quality and efficiency, expand the path of transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into gold and silver mountains, and promote the better linkage of forest "reservoirs, money banks, grain depots, and carbon pools", so as to realize the unity of ecological, economic and social benefits.
To open up the transformation path of the "two mountains", industrial development is the key.
Jiangxi has 156 million mu of forest land, and the forest coverage rate of the province is 63.35%. In recent years, Jiangxi has started with the forestry industry with the most distinctive advantages, and has successively introduced support policies to promote the high-quality development of the understory economy such as Camellia oleifera and Moso bamboo, so as to increase the income of the masses.
In 2023, the comprehensive output value of the understory economic industry in Jiangxi Province will reach 183.65 billion yuan, and the economic scale and output value of the understory will rank among the top in the country, becoming a vivid portrayal of the "nuggets" under the forest and the ecological enrichment of the people.
On September 21, 2023, in Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, Guangchang County, growers are checking the growth of edible fungi such as Cinnamomea Cinnamomea.
Live up to the lucid waters and green mountains, and get the gold and silver mountains.
On the new journey, write a new answer sheet for China's green and build a beautiful China, and the general secretary also emphasized green protection.
Green protection is to strengthen the protection of forest and grass resources, do a good job in fire prevention and extinguishing, carry out in-depth investigation and rectification of major hidden dangers, and protect the hard-won greening achievements.
In the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, tree planting was all about manpower.
At the beginning of the construction of the state-owned Xinhua Forest Farm in Inner Mongolia, Li Guihe and his colleagues, as the first generation of workers, were busy in the sand day and night, constantly repeating the work of bending down to dig pits, planting trees, and watering. Forestry workers described it as "three kowtows to plant a tree" at that time.
The survival rate of afforestation is less than 50%, and the "struggle" against the wind and sand with saplings in hand is a cruel reality that forestry workers have to face. With continuous attempts, repeated summaries, and the application of science and technology, generation after generation of perseverance has achieved this lush and dense forest farm in the northern Xinjiang.
On April 9, 2024, in the Luyang Economic Development Zone section of the water source protection area of Dafangying Reservoir in Hefei City, Anhui Province, the key militia is inspecting fire hazards in the forest.
Forests are the main body and important resources of terrestrial ecosystems, and are an important ecological guarantee for human survival and development.
Since 2015, commercial logging of natural forests has been completely stopped in key state-owned forest areas in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, and since 2016, commercial logging of natural forests in state-owned forest farms across the country has been completely stopped. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the mainland has continuously strengthened wetland protection, forest fire prevention, returning farmland to forest, afforestation of barren hills, urban greening, and the construction of farmland shelterbelts, and has always put green protection in the first place.
The general secretary pointed out that the forest is inherited from our ancestors, and it should be passed on to future generations, so that the top is worthy of our ancestors and the bottom is worthy of our descendants. He has made important instructions on many occasions to convey his determination to expand, rejuvenate and protect greenery.
Green, pregnant with infinite vitality, is the hope of ecological civilization and the cornerstone of people's well-being.
Natural ecology is interdependent and closely linked, and only by expanding greenery, revitalizing greenery, and protecting greenery at the same time, and promoting the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, sand and ice, can we continuously improve the quality and stability of the ecosystem, so that the people and future generations can continue to enjoy a high-quality green life.
