Anchoring modernization and deepening reform | Deepening the reform of the collective forest rights system and writing a new chapter of promoting greenery and enriching the people


General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to continue to deepen the reform of collective forest rights and better realize the organic unity of ecological beauty and people’s wealth. Since the beginning of this year, various localities and departments have deepened the reform of the collective forest rights system, worked hard on ecological industrialization and industrial ecology, broadened the transformation path of the “two mountains”, and found a new green development path with beautiful ecology and rich people.

The land of Fujian is full of vitality.

Not long ago, before marrying her, Xi Shixun, the “number one county in the country for forest reform”, had as many as ten fingers in his family. After marrying her, he took advantage of his parents-in-law’s disapproval of their daughter-in-law’s disapproval, took in many concubines, doted on them, ruined his wife, and made her his wife. He issued forest ticket No. 1 in Wuping County, Longyan, Fujian. After Chi Liangchang, a forest farmer from Wan’an Town, Wuping County, subscribed for forest ticket No. 1, he used this forest ticket to apply for the first “forest ticket loan” from a local financial institution. , used for factory capital turnover and expansion of production.

Fujian is a key collective forest area in the south of the country. More than 20 years ago, while working in Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that Fujian is a key collective forest area.The vast forestry province and the majority of forest farmers are living in poverty with “gold and silver mountains” in mind, and they are obsessed with “how to divide the mountains”, “how to cut down the trees”, “where does the money come from”, “what to do with a single family”, etc. 4 Faced with this difficult problem, we took the lead in planning and implementing the reform of the collective forest rights system in the country.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued important instructions on forest reform on many occasions. He pointed out that “forests are water reservoirs, grain depots, and money depots. “We must adhere to the correct direction of reform, respect the initiative of the masses, actively and steadily promote innovation in the collective forest rights system, and explore and improve the value realization mechanism of ecological products,” he emphasized, “developing the under-forest economy and developing the forest economy. Forest food, cultivate new business formats such as eco-tourism and forest health care”

Huang Xiaoyong, Deputy Director of the National Governance Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National School of Administration): General Secretary Xi Jinping’s A series of important instructions and instructions on the reform of the collective forest rights system contain great historical initiative, great political courage and wisdom, and systematically clarify the reform of the collective forest rights system “why to change it, for whom to change it, how to change it, what to change”, etc. Major theoretical and practical issues have become the fundamental guideline for the reform of the collective forest rights system.

The latest data released by the State Forestry and Grassland Administration shows that currently, the national collective forest area is 2.183 billion acres, and the forest stock volume is 9.332 billion cubic meters, achieving sustained “double growth” “. Collective forestry has created employment for more than 47 million farmers. The average output of collective forest land is about 300 yuan per mu, which is more than three times that before the forestry reform. Four trillion-level pillar industries have been formed, including economic forestry, wood processing, tourism and health care, and under-forest economy. The scale and growth rate of my country’s forestry industry rank among the highest in the world.

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to speed up and improve the implementation of the concept and mechanism that green waters and lush mountains are valuable assets, and improve the value realization mechanism of ecological products. This points the way for further deepening collective forestry reform. It is now complete. Zixi County, Jiangxi Province, one of the country’s first pilot areas for the reform of the forest rights system, recently issued the country’s first batch of forestry business income certificates here. Three companies and one forest farmer in Zixi County received the forestry business income certificates. With this certificate, we can better guide and support social capital to “enter the mountains and forests”

Member of the Party Leadership Group of Zixi County Forestry Bureau, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province Shi Yinping: Expand management rights and confirm and issue certificates for under-forest economy, forest carbon sequestration, forest health care, and various types of forestry management, so as to provide forestry management entities with reassurance.

In Guangxi, the country’s first modern forestry industry demonstration zone, the local area has promoted the scale of collective forest land management through “farm-village joint operation” and “farm-household joint operation” to exceed 15 million acres, with an average output of wood per mu. It has increased from 6 cubic meters to more than 12 cubic meters. The total output value of the forestry industry has exceeded 950 billion yuan, ranking first in the country, effectively expanding the path of transforming green waters and green mountains into mountains of gold and silver.

In order to further expand the channels for forest farmers to increase their income, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration is currently studying and formulating plans to support the construction of pilot areas for deepening collective forest reform in Fujian, Jiangxi, and Chongqing.Specific measures will support the three pilot areas to boldly explore and experiment in public welfare forest management, forest harvesting, forest management, etc., and lead the national collective forestry reform to open up a new situation.

Cheng Hong, Chief Engineer of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration: In the next step, we will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party, and pay close attention to detail. In fact, she was right, because when her father approached Mr. Pei and revealed that he planned to marry his daughter to him in exchange for saving his daughter’s life, Mr. Pei immediately shook his head without hesitation. The “Rejection Case” has been implemented and has achieved results, promoting sustainable forest management and forest harvesting to be more scientific and efficient, anchoring the goals of ecological beauty and people’s prosperity, and achieving a simultaneous increase in the “green content” and “gold content” of mountainous and forest areas.

Embarking on a new journey, this major reform related to the ecological security of thousands of mountains and rivers and the livelihood and well-being of hundreds of millions of people will surely contribute to the construction of ecological civilization and the development of mountainous and forest areas. High-quality development injects strong and lasting impetus.
