湖南省3年减伐林木1500万立方米 森林质量明显提高

Recently, the Hunan Provincial Forestry Department announced that Hunan has made remarkable achievements in implementing a three-year action plan on banning or reducing logging. Between 2016 and 2018, Hunan’s logging reduced 44.7% to 15 million m3.

湖南省林业局近日发布，我省实施禁伐减伐三年行动计划成效显著，2016年至2018年共减少林木采伐量1500万立方米，减伐幅度达44.7%。

About 79.86 million mu (about 5.3 million ha) of forests, 41% of the provincial total, are banned logging under the framework of the three-year action plan. It includes Hunan’s public benefit forests at national or provincial level, and the forests within the first ridgeline on both sides of railways, expressways, and national and provincial highways. A total of 63 cities (counties/districts), which have been designated as key ecological function zones at the national, provincial and ministerial levels, are asked to reduce deforestation by 20% on a yearly basis.

根据行动计划，禁伐范围包括全省境内的国家级公益林、省级公益林以及铁路、高速公路、国道、省道两旁第一层山脊以内的森林，共涉及面积7986万亩，占全省林地总面积的41%。同时，对已经划定为国家、省部级重点生态功能区的63个县市区，实施森林减伐，每年在上年度采伐量的基础上减少林木采伐量20%。

By the end of 2018, Hunan’s forest coverage rate was 59.82%. The forest density has improved significantly, with 60.2 m3/ha for stand volume. The biodiversity is increasing, and the forest ecosystem function is improving.

至2018年底，全省森林覆盖率提升到59.82%;森林质量明显提高，林分蓄积每公顷达60.2立方米;生物多样性日趋丰富，森林生态系统功能进一步提升。
