林业是一项重要的公益事业和基础产业。《中共中央国务院关于加快林业发展的决定》指出:“林业为国家经济建设和生态状况改善作出了重要贡献,对促进新阶段农业和农村经济的发展,扩大城乡就业,增加农民收入,发挥着越来越重要的作用。”在建设社会主义新农村这一新的重大历史任务面前,要进一步认清林业所肩负的历史使命和作用,积极推进社会主义新农村建设。 Forestry is an important public service and basic industry. The Decision of the State Council of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Speeding up Forestry Development states: “Forestry has made an important contribution to the improvement of national economic construction and ecological conditions. It is of great significance to promoting the development of agriculture and the rural economy in the new stage, expanding urban and rural employment, increasing peasants’ income, More and more important role. ”" In the face of this new major historical task of building a new socialist countryside, we must further recognize the historical mission and role that forestry undertakes and actively promote the building of a new socialist countryside.
