An ambitious forest recovery plan was unveiled in China in which logging in all non-commercial woodlands will be banned. State Forestry Bureau director Wang Zhibao said the plan would focus on reforestation along the Yangtze and Yellow rivers. "Forests will be re-classified into 'public-interest' and 'commercial'," he said. "Commercial logging will be completely banned in regions classified public-interest, no matter whether they are natural forests or plantations." All public-interest forests will eventually be listed as natural reserves. Massive reforestation will take place to recover exploited land in those areas.
