【知识点】

“三北”防护林体系工程（简称“三北”工程）是在中国西北、华北北部、东北西部地区建设的以防护林为主的绿化工程。它是国家重点建设工程，西起新疆，东至黑龙江，地跨西北、华北、东北13个省、自治区、直辖市的512个县（旗），约占国土总面积的42.4%。

根据《关于财政支持“三北”工程建设的意见》《“三北”工程补助资金管理办法》，中央财政通过统筹存量和增量资金，设立“三北”工程补助资金，支持林草湿荒一体化保护修复、巩固防沙治沙成果、沙化土地封禁保护补偿、“产业生态化、生态产业化”示范等。

目前，“三北”工程区已开工项目40个，完成造林种草2000多万亩。截至目前，河北、内蒙古、山西、甘肃、宁夏、新疆等省区均发布了关于打好“三北”工程攻坚战的总林长令。

【重要讲话】

我国人工造林规模世界第一，而且还在继续造林。地球绿化，改善全球气候变化，中国功不可没，中国人民功不可没。森林既是水库、钱库、粮库，也是碳库。植树造林是一件很有意义的事情，是一项功在当代、利在千秋的崇高事业，要一以贯之、持续做下去。

China ranks the first in the world in terms of artificial afforestation areas, and the scale is still expanding. China and its people have made invaluable contributions to making the earth greener and responding to global climate change. Forests help conserve water, bring in economic benefits, boost grain production and also serve as a carbon sink. Planting trees is a noble cause of great significance which creates benefits for not only our generation but also future generations. We must continue our endeavor in this regard with consistent and persistent efforts.
