Beijing, August 26 - China has returned more than 24 million hectares of farmlands to forests since 1999, Xinhua learnt from a national conference on forestry1 work held on Saturday.
China started the nationwide campaign of returning farmlands to forests in 2000, involving 124 million farmers of more than 32 million households in 25 provincial2 areas.
The campaign has contributed to more than 60 percent of the country's newly-made forest areas in recent years, according to the conference.
Farmers who were affected3 by the campaign had also received subsidies4 and grains, with subsidies accounting5 for almost ten percent of farmers' average annual income.
The government will earmark another 200 billion yuan (about 26 billion U.S. dollars) to the campaign in the coming years, making the total investment reach 4.3 trillion yuan.
A special fund will also be established to consolidate6 the achievements of the campaign.
China has planted 53.3 million hectares of forests in the past 58 years,more than any other country in the world, with forestry coverage7 rate rising from 8.6 percent to 18.2 percent, according to the State Forestry Administration.
China will continue implementing8 key projects in forestation, including returning farmlands to forests and grasslands9 and preserving natural forests, with the aim of increasing forestry coverage to 20 percent by 2010.
