It is necessary to crack down on the destruction of woodland by land consolidation.

The woodland was seriously damaged by land consolidation, and some places gave the green light to the indiscriminate occupation of woodland by industrial parks. It is necessary to increase the weight of ecological protection in the assessment of cadres' political achievements, and establish an accountability system involving ecological issues.

Recently, illegal occupation of woodland and destruction of forest resources have occurred in some places from time to time, and have been banned repeatedly. In 2014, the State Forestry Administration conducted a national forest land management inspection and found that all kinds of illegal forest land occupation projects increased by 7.1% over the previous year. In order to further standardize forest land management, the State Forestry Administration recently launched a two-month special forest land inventory operation.At present, a total of 17270 cases of illegal occupation of forest land have been cleared and investigated, covering an area of 31276 hectares.

The area of woodland destroyed by land consolidation is large, and the regional ecological damage is serious.

According to Liu Dongsheng, deputy director of the State Forestry Administration, in 2014, the State Forestry Administration used satellite remote sensing images and field inspection to inspect the woodland management of 149 counties. The results show that the illegal occupation of woodland in some places is still quite prominent.

The area of woodland destroyed by land consolidation is large, and the regional ecological damage is serious. A special inspection conducted by the State Forestry Administration shows that in order to alleviate the contradiction between land supply and demand, achieve a "balance between occupation and compensation" of cultivated land in the province, and encourage land consolidation and reclamation of cultivated land, land use indicators can be adjusted across regions. Xianju County and Longquan City belong to the post-development areas in Zhejiang, with urgent development needs, high enthusiasm and large area of cultivated land, less cultivated land and less gentle slopes in low hills and more woodland, so there is a "shortage of land at the foot of the mountain." the scene of busy cutting down trees on the mountain. The special inspection found that the land consolidation area of the two places completed from 2009 to 2014 was 2427.9 hectares, of which 2021.8 hectares were involved in forest land; among the 22 projects verified by spot checks, the actual construction area was 315.3 hectares, of which 290.5 hectares were woodland, accounting for 92.1%.

Hao Yanxiang, director of the Forest Resources Management Department of the State Forestry Administration, said that the problem of destroying woodland resources in land consolidation has existed for a long time, and the pattern of interests behind it is very complex, and it has formed a considerable scale in some places, which has posed a serious threat to the protection and management of woodland. In 2014, the forestland management inspection focused on land consolidation, taking the form of national inspection, local self-examination and thematic investigation. It was found that 71 land consolidation and development projects occupied 1586.4 hectares of woodland in 15 counties in 6 provinces.

At the same time, some localities "give the green light" to industrial parks, illegal occupation of woodland, quarrying, mining and all kinds of commercial construction encroach on woodland repeatedly. Spot checks found 105 illegal projects in exploration and mining, covering an area of 210.5 hectares, accounting for 39.6% of the total number of illegal construction projects and 29.2% of the area. The management of forest land in Zhungeer Banner of Inner Mongolia Autonomous region is chaotic, and it occupies a large amount of woodland in violation of laws and regulations to mine coal mines. In some places, the planning of forest land protection and utilization is adjusted without authorization in order to carry out land consolidation and the construction of industrial parks, which seriously affects the normal order of forest land management.

Intensify the crackdown to curb the phenomenon of deforestation and occupying land from the source

Illegal occupation of woodland has long been banned in China, and the relevant departments are constantly stepping up efforts to crack down, why is it still banned repeatedly? Zhao Shucong, director of the State Forestry Administration, believes that the key is to use the system to protect the ecological environment, increase the weight of ecological protection in the performance assessment of cadres, establish an accountability system involving ecological issues, and improve laws and regulations. to curb such violations of laws and regulations from the source.

"the inspection also found that the supervision of law enforcement in some places is weak." Liu Dongsheng said: some local forestry authorities have weak supervision and weak law enforcement, replacing punishment for approval and punishment, and their accountability and crackdown are not strong enough. some local forestry authorities go through the formalities of re-examination (approval) in violation of regulations without investigating and dealing with projects occupying forest land in violation of laws and regulations, which encourages preemptive behavior without approval; individual local forestry authorities are divided into parts and examined and approved in violation of regulations. The situation reported by individual places is not true.
