　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China identified "Beautiful China" as an important goal of socialist modernization in the new era, and made comprehensive arrangements for accelerating the reform of ecological civilization system and building beautiful China. In order to achieve this grand goal and complete this historical mission, how will forestry play its role and advantages? The reporter interviewed Zhang Jianlong, director of the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau.

　　Reporter: The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China identified "Beautiful China" as an important goal of socialist modernization in the new era. How do you understand it?

　　Zhang Jianlong: Standing in the new historical orientation of China’s development, the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China discussed the great significance of vigorously promoting the construction of ecological civilization, and made comprehensive arrangements for speeding up the reform of the ecological civilization system and building a beautiful China. The report defines "Beautiful China" as an important goal and one of the strategic tasks of socialist modernization in the new era. Building ecological civilization is a Millennium plan for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. We should adhere to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature and establish and practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept. Man and nature are a community of life, and human beings must respect, conform to and protect nature. We should speed up the reform of ecological civilization system and build a beautiful China. These are the important contents of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, which provide basic guidance for building an ecological civilization and beautiful China and promoting forestry modernization, and point out the way forward.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s forestry construction has achieved remarkable results, but China is still a country with few forests and green, fragile ecology and insufficient supply of ecological products. Compared with the people’s needs for a beautiful ecological environment, the national forestry development level still lags far behind the needs for maintaining ecological security, building an ecological civilization and beautiful China and building a well-off society in an all-round way. Forestry departments at all levels and foresters should stand at the strategic and overall height of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, earnestly enhance their sense of responsibility and urgency in building an ecological civilization and a beautiful China, more actively promote forestry modernization with greater determination and more practical measures, and strive to make up for the shortcomings of forestry development, so as to ensure that forestry and the whole country can simultaneously achieve the grand goal of modernization and better meet the people’s yearning for a better life.

　　Reporter: To implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, what should the forestry system focus on next?

　　Zhang Jianlong: We must thoroughly study and understand the important thoughts of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on ecological civilization construction, firmly establish the socialist concept of ecological civilization, constantly improve the overall thinking and major policies and measures of forestry work, conscientiously implement the major decision-making arrangements of the central authorities on ecological civilization construction, and comprehensively improve the level of forestry modernization.

　　At present, we should focus on improving the quality and stability of natural ecosystems such as forests, wetlands and deserts, and provide more high-quality ecological products for the whole society. It is necessary to comprehensively deepen forestry reforms such as collective forest right system, state-owned forest farms and state-owned forest areas, do a good job in establishing a national park system as a pilot, and promote the improvement of system of ecological civilization. It is necessary to continuously strengthen the protection of ecosystems, improve the natural forest protection system and the compensation system for forests and wetlands, promote legislation on the protection of natural forests and wetlands, strengthen forestry administrative law enforcement, forest pest control and forest fire prevention, and comprehensively protect woodlands, forests, wetlands, vegetation and wildlife in sandy areas. It is necessary to carry out major forestry ecological protection and restoration projects in depth, improve the regional layout and policy measures of existing projects, and strive to build a strategic pattern of "two screens and three belts" ecological security. It is necessary to carry out large-scale land greening operations, promote urban and rural greening as a whole, expand the scale of returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and comprehensively strengthen forest management. It is necessary to implement the scheme of wetland protection and restoration system and the scheme of desertification land protection and restoration system, accelerate the pace of sand prevention and control, and strengthen wetland protection and restoration. Strengthen the construction and management of forestry nature reserves, solve the problems of fragmentation of wildlife habitats, islanding of nature reserves, and blocking of ecological corridors, build ecological corridors and biodiversity protection networks, and strive to achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

　　Reporter: How can forestry play a greater role in implementing the rural revitalization strategy?

　　Zhang Jianlong: Implementing the rural revitalization strategy is a new strategic deployment made by the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core for the work concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers, which is of great significance for effectively solving the problems concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers, building a well-off society in an all-round way, realizing the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and building an ecological civilization. Forestry has many ecological, economic and social benefits. It is the main provider of ecological products, an important basic industry and a green industry to enrich the people. It plays an increasingly important role in improving ecological conditions and promoting employment and income. The implementation of the rural revitalization strategy not only brings great opportunities for forestry reform and development, but also requires forestry to play its unique advantages and important role.

　　First, strengthen rural ecological protection and restoration. In-depth implementation of key ecological projects such as natural forest protection, shelter forest system construction, returning farmland to forests, sand prevention and control, wetland protection and restoration, and comprehensive improvement of rural ecological carrying capacity, on the one hand, provide ecological support for agricultural and rural modernization, on the other hand, focus on improving rural ecological livability. Focusing on the goal of ecological livability, we will organize and implement greening and beautification projects and small wetland restoration projects in rural areas, accelerate the construction of rural greenways, leisure parks, rural wetland parks and wetland protection communities, and continuously improve the ecological situation of rural human settlements. We will implement a number of protection projects for ancient and famous trees, water conservation forests, native tree species, native flowers and native rare wild plants.

　　The second is to deepen the reform of the collective forest right system. Stabilize the family contract relationship of collective forest land, liberalize the management right, promote the separation of ownership, contracting right and management right of collective forest land, accelerate the development of new forestry management entities such as family forest farms, guide financial capital and social capital to flow into forestry in an orderly manner, promote the moderate scale operation of collective forestry, and help farmers revitalize forest resources.

　　Third, actively develop the forestry industry. Through policy support, guide farmers to actively develop industries such as characteristic economic forests, woody oil plants, bamboo and rattan flowers, and under-forest economy, and enhance the contribution rate of forestry to farmers’ income. Organize and implement the construction project of forest ecological sign products, cultivate more production bases of excellent new forest products in rural areas, and let more farmers realize stable employment and income increase. Vigorously develop forest tourism and leisure services, build a number of forest health bases, forest towns, forest villages and forest families, and strive to transform green mountains and green hills into Jinshan Yinshan. In poverty-stricken areas, we will strive to continue to expand the scale of ecological rangers and let more poor farmers get rid of poverty steadily.

　　Fourth, vigorously promote forestry ecological culture. Actively explore and develop tree culture, flower culture, bamboo culture and tea culture, promote the construction of a number of eco-cultural villages, promote rural civilization, guide farmers to protect ecological resources such as wild animals and plants, ancient and famous trees and wetlands more consciously, take the initiative to love green and plant green, and jointly build a beautiful home.
