March 12th is China’s Tree Planting Day. It is a day to help people understand the importance of environmental protection and encourage them to plant trees. This special day has a long history. In 1979, March 12th was set as Tree Planting Day. This date is the anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s death. Dr. Sun worked hard to protect forests.
On this day, millions of Chinese people such as students, volunteers, and government workers go all over the country to plant trees. Schools often take students on trips to plant young trees. This teaches them how trees help fight desertification and climate change. For example, the “Three-North Shelter Forest Program” (also called the “Great Green Wall”) has helped restore more than 30 million hectares of land in northern China since it began in 1978.
Tree Planting Day also shows China’s promise to protect the environment. The government’s policy says, “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.” Because of this, China’s forests are getting healthier. By the end of 2024, China’s forest coverage had reached over 25%, and the country has the most planted forests in the world.
As students, we can help by planting trees, throwing away less trash, and doing things that are good for the environment. Every small action helps make our planet greener.
