Building a forest on the sea? See how Fujian’s “forest system” has swept the nation →

World Forest Day

Green water and green mountains

It's a mountain of gold and silver

Green Home

"Deep" never stops

Nine cities and one district were all awarded the title of National Forest City

Fujian's forest coverage rate is as high as 65.12%

Maintaining the first place in the country for 45 consecutive years

Convert it, that is

Planted a tree for everyone in the country

Turn barren mountains into green mountains and sea of ​​sand into oasis

…

Let’s take a look

In the matter of afforestation

How hard does the “forest-oriented” Fujian work?

↓↓↓

Fujianese are really good at building forests on the sea

In the inner bay of Xiatanwei, Xiamen City

A "sea forest" is growing

This is the largest

Artificial mangroves

A total of 850,000 square meters

As if it was derived between the sea and the land

Magical World

After almost disappearing for more than 20 years

How did mangroves reappear in Xiamen’s Xiatanwei waters?

The story behind this is also very interesting.

Changes began in 2005

Xiamen University Mangrove Research Team

Started planting experimental forest in Xiatanwei

It's not that easy to grow a tree in the sea

The planting of seedlings requires a certain beach elevation

Flooding for too long will affect the development of seedlings

The choice of tree species is also a difficult point

Must pass a lot of tests

To confirm whether the introduced mangroves are "suitable" for the local area

In order to let the mangroves "take root" again

Researchers have put in a lot of effort

Lu Changyi, Professor of the School of Environment and Ecology, Xiamen University

Invented the patented technology of "chopstick seedlings"

Increase the survival rate of seedlings to more than 90%

Through ecological restoration

Fish, shellfish, shrimp and crabs in the park

and polychaetes increased significantly

By the end of 2023

Xiamen has a total of 173.9 hectares of mangroves.

These "coast guards" make Xiamen more beautiful

Witness the green Fujian with old friends

Dongtai Village, Qingkou Town, Minhou County, Fuzhou City

A banyan tree stands quietly

It is over 1,500 years old.

The trunk requires about 12 adults

Hand in hand, we can embrace

It is lush and vigorous.

Blessing future generations and benefiting the local area

In regulating climate and greening environment

Played an important role

It is said that ancient trees are witnesses of time.

It is also the guarantor of ecological "appearance"

In Fujian

There are many such "old friends"

Fujian currently has more than 112,000 ancient and famous trees on file

More than 2,100 ancient trees

They have gone through the vicissitudes of time

Still lush and vigorous

Silently guarding the land of Fujian

In Fujian , the greenest province in China

Forests can be used as money

Can also be used as collateral

Can "pair up"

Can also "do beauty"

From a small seedling to a towering tree

It never happens overnight

From a new generation of seedlings to a thriving forest

Fujian continues to protect green mountains and clear waters

Planting trees and caring for forests

Let the green home be passed down from generation to generation
