大小兴安岭和长白山脉是我国天然林资源分布最集中的森林宝库,由于经济建设的需要,新中国成立后原本人烟稀少的林区陆续建起了数百个林场,累计为国家生产木材10亿多立方米,木材产量占全国的1/3。到上世纪末,这里已有近300万人靠采伐天然林维持生存。 Due to the need of economic construction, hundreds of forest farms were founded in the sparsely populated forest areas after the founding of People’s Republic of China in new China, accumulating a total of more than 1 billion cubic meters of timber for national production Rice, timber production accounted for 1/3 of the country. By the end of the last century, nearly 3 million people here have maintained their existence by cutting natural forests.
