Committed to sustainable development and building a community for all life on Earth, China has actively and persistently contributed to global efforts to combat climate change and tackle severe pollution, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. At 57, Lu Quanlin has dedicated nearly 40 years of his life to safeguarding the forests of the Greater Hinggan Mountains in China's northernmost city of Mohe. Alongside his team, he focuses on forest protection, fire prevention and wildlife management at Mohe Forest Farm, which has been a pillar of conservation since its establishment in 1955. The total area of the plantation there has reached 36,400 hectares, with a forest coverage rate of 92.7 percent. President Xi Jinping visited the forest farm on September 6, 2023. He examined the growth of natural forests and encouraged forest farm workers to guard this "treasure house." During his visit, Xi also learned about forest crops and specialty forest products in the Greater Hinggan Mountains. Since 2000, about a quarter of the world's new green areas have come from China, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. China's total preserved area of planted forests currently stands at 87.6 million hectares, ranking first globally. #xijinping #environment Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gA Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv
