Beijing - UPI
China has plans to increase its forest coverage to 21.66 percent by 2015 in an effort to improve the country\'s ecological environment, an official said Sunday. Sun Zhagen, vice head of the State Forestry Administration, unveiled the plan at a forum on sustainable forestry development, Xinhua reported.
