The face of global forest resources and the declining trend, the Chinese Government, through the large-scale afforestation, strengthened the forest vegetation restoration, enhancement of forest ecosystem carbon storage and carbon sequestration, in recent years, forest carbon sink capacity showing a good momentum of sustained growth.

Held here at the 4th National Forestry schistosomiasis science and technology supporting the work of the meeting, the CPPCC National Committee, deputy director of the Population, Resources and Environment Committee, said Jiang Zehui into the 21st century, the Chinese government established the ecological construction, forestry development strategy, sustainable development and protection of forest resources to increase efforts in the implementation, including resource protection, land afforestation, soil erosion, desertification, wetland conservation, biodiversity conservation and the commercial forest base construction for the content of the six forest focus on engineering, planning afforestation task 076 million hectares, planning investment in more than 9,000 billion yuan, has made great ecological, economic and social benefits.

According to just released its seventh national forest resource inventory results, China's forest area is 195 million hectares, 20.36 percent of forest cover, forest accumulation of 13.721 billion cubic meters, of which plantation area 062 million hectares, to continue to maintain in the world. Five years, China has a net increase of 2054.30 hectares of forest area, forest accumulation of a net increase of 1.123 billion cubic meters, an average annual net increase of 225 million cubic meters, maintaining the forest area and growing stock have increased a good situation.

Zehui that, according to State Forestry Administration recently issued a 'Climate Change Forestry Action Plan,' the Chinese government has attached great importance to fully understand and forests in mitigating climate change in the unique role, will take 22 Forestry mitigation and adaptation to climate change action plan by 2020, national average annual afforestation afforestation over an area of 5 million hectares, forest coverage rate increased to 23%, forest stock volume of 140 billion cubic meters of forest carbon sinks further improved; 2050 , 2020, a net increase of more than 47 million hectares of forest area, forest coverage and to stabilize at 26%, and forest carbon sink capacity remained relatively stable.

It is understood that since the late 80s of the last century, China's forest carbon sink capacity seen a continued growth trend, by 2005, through continuous control to carry out afforestation and deforestation activities, China has to reduce carbon dioxide emissions more than 50 million tons, in order to mitigate global climate change has played an important role. At present, the total carbon storage of forest vegetation has reached 7.811 billion tons, carbon sequestration release of oxygen and other ecosystem services valued at 10.01 trillion yuan year.
