In the first half of 2012, under the strong guidance of the State Council and the leadership of the Party Leadership Group of the State Forestry Administration, the forestry sector across the nation worked diligently, focusing on ecological conservation and sustainable development. Despite challenges posed by natural disasters and policy adjustments, the forestry sector managed to maintain its upward trajectory. The Express Mail Service of Forestry Statistics and customs data show that ecological restoration efforts were intensified, the forestry industry continued to expand, and forest product trade remained robust. Overall, the forestry economy performed exceptionally well during this period.
**I. Ecological Conservation and Restoration**
According to the latest reports, the country completed a total of 61,427,300 mu (about 4.09 million hectares) of afforestation in the first half of the year, representing a 4% increase from the same period in 2011 and achieving 68.25% of the annual target. Of this, 45,399,900 mu were for artificial reforestation, 103.32 million mu for aerial seeding, and 14.42 million mu for mountain closures, completing 85.02%, 50.40%, and 42.54% of their respective annual targets. Additionally, 66,424,500 mu of middle-aged and young forest tending were carried out, reaching 63.26% of the annual goal. Voluntary tree planting initiatives resulted in 2.29 billion trees planted, achieving 91.6% of the annual target.
Key forestry projects accounted for 25,760,600 mu of the total afforestation, with the Natural Forest Protection Project, Returning Farmland to Forests Project, and the Three-North Shelterbelt Project contributing significantly. These projects collectively achieved 39.16% of their annual goals. Social afforestation accounted for 58.06% of the total afforestation area, reflecting a balanced effort between government-led and community-driven initiatives. Meanwhile, wildlife protection and nature reserve development progressed smoothly, with the State Council approving 24 new national nature reserves and 286 new reserves within the forestry system.

State investments accounted for 21.194 billion yuan, or 24.05% of total forestry investments. Investments focused on ecological restoration and protection accounted for 59.26% of the total, with afforestation receiving the largest share, at 71.99%. Supportive and protective investments amounted to 6.482 billion yuan, with seedling cultivation receiving the highest allocation, at 32.90%. Industrial development investments totaled 15.071 billion yuan, primarily allocated to special economic forests, floriculture, and under-forest economies. Other investments, such as those for infrastructure, totaled 14.517 billion yuan.
Funding sources showed that state budget funds and self-raised funds accounted for 38.02% and 38.47% of the total, respectively. Central and local government budgets split evenly, each contributing 50%.

The National Forest Fire Prevention Headquarters and local authorities implemented effective measures, reducing the number of forest fires by 25% compared to the same period in 2011. Affected areas decreased by 47%, and timber losses dropped by 54%. Casualties fell by 75%. Regarding pests, a total of 102.54 million mu of forest areas were affected, including 8.36 million mu due to diseases, 80.46 million mu from pests, and 13.72 million mu impacted by rodents. Control efforts covered 54.47 million mu, maintaining consistency with the previous year.
**Conclusion**
2012 marks a pivotal year for implementing the 12th Five-Year Plan and advancing forestry reforms. While challenges remain, the sector continues to demonstrate resilience and innovation, ensuring both environmental sustainability and economic prosperity.
