La Chine a pour ambition de reboiser un quart de sa surface d'ici 2020 et réhabiliter ainsi son territoire détruit pour des raisons économiques.
C'est le directeur de l'administration de la foret, MrZhou Shengxian, qui l'a annoncé dans le China Daily
Le gouvernement prévoit que les forêts recouvreront 23% du territoire entre 2015 et 2020, contre moins de 20% actuellement.
Mr Zhou a aussi indiqué que le développement forestier a un ambitieux programme avec actuellement en cours six programmes de préservation des forêts et des réserves naturelles afin de prévenir l'érosion du sol et l'absorption des prairies par le désert.
Ils planteront des arbres à croissance rapide et ce vaste programme de reforestation nécessitera l'implication d'environ un million de personnes.
A l'heure où on ne parle que de la déforestation du poumon à oxygène qu'est la forêt amazonienne, cette nouvelle est une très bonne initiative du gouvernement Chinois.

Nearly a quarter of China will be forested by 2020, according to the State Forestry Administration (SFA).

Speaking in Beijing yesterday, one of the administration's top officials, Zhou Shengxian, said forest coverage will reach 23 per cent in the next 10 to 15 years, an increase of 5 per cent.
"The increase in forests will outpace what the country consumed or lost during the growth of its economy," he said.
Zhou, director of the State Forestry Administration (SFA), said his agency has outlined a new strategy for the goal of pushing forward forestry development in the years ahead.
Addressing a televised conference in Beijing yesterday, he said new layouts have been set for planting trees throughout China with measures adjusted to local conditions.
(...)
The administration director said forestry development would take shape throughout China with shelter belts expanding along east coast areas, desertification held in check in the underdeveloped western provinces, fast-growing and high-yielding forests growing in the south and natural forests fully protected in the north.
In East China, existing forests will be further consolidated along the country's prosperous coastal areas as a buffer against devastating storm tides, a major menace to the region's economy.
A comprehensive coastal forest belt of mangrove, offshore wetlands and tidal flats will be formed as shelter for coastal cities to mitigate damage from tsunamis or typhoons.
In Western China, a "Green Great Wall," first envisioned in 1978 as a barrier to hold back ever-advancing sand dunes, will be build up as a natural shelter spanning northern, northwestern and northeastern drought-prone areas.
