With over 25 percent of its land surface covered by forests, China is the fastest and largest contributor to land greening efforts in the world, according to an official from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.

On Wednesday, which marked the 47th National Tree Planting Day, the National Afforestation Commission released a communique on China's land greening status in 2024, highlighting progress made over the past year.

The forest coverage rate surpassed 25 percent, while the forest stock volume exceeded 20 billion cubic meters, it said.
