Chinanews, Beijing, Oct 12 – China's efforts to convert cropland to forests have been highly praised by the international community. At present, China has turned about 364 million mu (2.42666679 ×1013 square meters) of farmland into forests. These forests have absorbed the carbon dioxide to an amount equivalent to emission1 by 3 million cars in 11 years, said Li Yucai, deputy director-general of the State Forestry2 Administration in a briefing held on Wednesday.

 

When an EU delegation3 visited the State Forestry Administration, they knew little about China's reafforestration project and asked us to for explanation. After they learned about it, all the 35 EU delegates praised that we were a responsible country, Li said.

 

According to scientists' calculation, whenever a tree grows by one cubic meter, it can absorb an additional 1.83 tons of carbon dioxide and release 1.62 tons of oxygen. At present, China has turned about 364 million mu (2.42666679 ×1013 square meters) of farmland into forests, said Li Yucai.

 

Chinese reafforestration project not only has benefited the Chinese people, it has also made great contributions to the world in that it has greatly reduced gas emissions4 and slowed down the global warming process, Li noted5.
