回望四川退耕还林20年

20 Years’ of Restoration of Forests from Farmland in Sichuan

1999年,四川、陕西、甘肃三省在全国率先启动退耕还林试点,开启了中国从"毁林种粮""越垦越穷、越穷越垦"到修复自然、改善生态的绿色发展征程。20年后的今天,退耕林遍布巴蜀大地,昔日广种薄收的坡耕地已是层林叠翠、绿意盎然。漫山遍野的退耕林木,浸透着岁月流逝的印痕,记录着艰辛探索的历程,谱写了建设美丽四川、筑牢长江上游生态屏障的辉煌篇章。

The year 2019 celebrates the 20 th anniversary of the national project of returning farmlands to forests.20 years ago,Sichuan,Shaanxi and Gansu,as the pilot provinces to launch the project,ushered in a new era of green growth,breaking the vicious cycle of reclamation and poverty and starting to heal the nature and improve the ecosystem.Now Sichuan is blanketed with green forests,a far cry from the fragile and infertile sloping farmland 20 years ago.The greener Sichuan acts like a strong fortress that keeps the ecological environment of the upper reaches of the Yangtze from harm.
