It has been a shared mission and common aspiration of all forestry professionals
to create sound ecosystems with clear waters, green mountains and well-conserved
biodiversity. We face new tasks and will assume more responsibilities in building an
ecological civilization.
2 Accurate Understanding of the Role of Forestry
in Building an Ecological Civilization in the New Era
At the 19th National Congress of the CPC, it was announced that socialism with
Chinese characteristics had entered a new era. This new era will be an era of building
on past successes to further advance our cause, and of continuing in a new historical
context to strive for the success of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It will
be an era of pursuing ecological progress and building a beautiful China to achieve
harmony between mankind and nature following the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought
on Ecological Civilization. After the 18th National Congress of the CPC, based on
traditional Chinese culture, and in view of the trend of the time and the wishes
of the people, General Secretary Xi Jinping clarified major issues in theory and
practice relating to the concept and significance of ecological civilization and how
to build an ecological civilization from the strategic perspective of upholding and
developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the Chinese dream
of national rejuvenation. These remarks constitute Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological
Civilization, which has played an important guiding role in China’s achievements in
the development of an ecological civilization and eco-environmental protection. Xi
Jinping values the role of forestry in ecological progress. At a voluntary tree-planting
event in Beijing on April 2, 2013, he pointed out that forests are the mainstay and an
important resource for the land ecosystem, and an important ecological support for
the survival and development of mankind. “It is hard to imagine what would happen
to the earth and human beings without forests,” he said. Xi Jinping called for persistent efforts to plant trees, saying that it would create a better environment for building
a moderately prosperous society in all respects and realizing the Chinese dream of
national rejuvenation. He also made remarks on forestry at tree-planting activities
in the next few years. In 2014, Xi Jinping stressed that forestry was a fundamental
issue concerning the sustainable socioeconomic development. In 2015, he pointed
out that planting trees was an important way to build a beautiful environment and
an endeavor that will benefit the most people. “China has made an important contribution to mankind in afforestation,” said Xi Jinping. In 2016, he emphasized that
development of forestry was an important part of building a moderately prosperous
society in all respects and an important measure to build an ecological civilization.
He said, “It’s the common aspiration of mankind to build a green home.” In 2017, he
acknowledged China’s achievements in afforestation over the years, and called for
more efforts to improve the environment for the building of an ecological civilization.
