Ecological plan frees 20m poor

More than 20 million people living under China鈥檚 poverty line shook off poverty through ecological poverty-relief programs, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.

The country has so far completed all the tasks of its ecological poverty-relief programs while coordinating poverty alleviation with ecological protection, NFGA deputy director Li Chunliang told reporters yesterday.

The administration has carried out several such programs, including ecological compensation and government-sponsored afforestation projects.

As part of the compensation mechanism, forestry authorities have recruited a total of about 1.1 million forest rangers around the nation from impoverished households since 2016, Li said.
