鈥楩orest chief鈥 environment strategy to go national
Print Edition
China has issued a guideline to implement its 鈥渇orest chief鈥 scheme nationwide amid the country鈥檚 continuous efforts to protect forests and grasslands.
It was issued by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council and urged that the forest chief scheme will be rolled out nationwide by June 2022.
鈥淕eneral forest chiefs鈥 should be appointed in all provincial-level regions, said the guideline. It clarified all levels of forest chiefs鈥 responsibilities in protecting forest and grassland resources.
Under the scheme, China will strengthen ecological protection and restoration of forests and grasslands, promote large-scale afforestation, and enhance monitoring and supervision for forest and grassland resources by utilizing modern information technologies.
Efforts will also encourage the prevention and control of harmful pests and plant diseases, as well as natural disasters such as fires.
China started trials of the 鈥渇orest chief鈥 scheme in 2017, and so far up to 23 provincial regions, including Anhui, Jiangxi and Chongqing, have already carried out the trial program, providing the foundation for nationwide implementation.
鈥淣ationwide implementation of the forest chief scheme is a key step in enhancing local responsibilities in ecological protection,鈥 said Guan Zhi鈥檕u, head of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
Indicators measuring the performance of forest chiefs include forest coverage, forest stock volume, vegetation coverage of grassland and the area of desertified land restored, while specific targets will be tailored to local conditions.
