Forestry researchers and technicians need to speed up technical
innovation as the forestry industry faces increasing challenges in
maintaining ecology and energy safety, alleviating global warming
and easing lumber shortage, Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu said
Thursday.
Hui encouraged scientific and technological workers at a meeting
to mark the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Society of Forestry to
take up the heavy tasks with determination and make more brilliant
achievements.
He urged them to start more field research on major and crucial
issues, contribute suggestions to the governments to facilitate the
development of forestry industry.
He said the society should double its efforts to spread popular
science among the public in a regular and more efficient manner and
help farmers to grasp advanced forestry technology.
