27% of 61.3%. In order to protect the increasingly fragile ecological environment, the country launched a natural forest protection project in 1998. It has completely banned cutting of natural forests in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.National timber harvested in the plan was reduced from 6710.27 million cubic meters in 1996 to 2000. The 47.239 million cubic meters of the average annual reduction of 397.26 million cubic meters. Reducing and controlling timber harvesting has aggravated the contradiction between wood supply and demand.
China's per capita wood consumption is 0.22 cubic meters, which is equivalent to 40.7% of the world's per capita wood consumption of 0.54 cubic meters. The supply of timber is far from meeting the needs of the national economy and people’s lives.
