实施西部地区大开发战略,加快中西部地区发展,是党中央贯彻邓小平同志关于我国现代化建设“两个大局”的思想,面向新世纪所作的一项重大决策。加强西部地区生态环境建设有利于优化林业建设布局,推进全国林业的均衡和协调发展。在西部开发中,要树立全局观念、系统观念、资源观念、市场观念和效益观念,并采取积极措施,加快西部生态环境建设。 Implementing the strategy of developing the western region and accelerating the development of the central and western regions are the major decisions taken by the Party Central Committee in implementing Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s thinking on “two general plans” of our country’s modernization and facing the new century. Strengthening the ecological environment in the western region is conducive to optimizing the layout of forestry construction and promoting the balanced and coordinated development of forestry throughout the country. In the course of developing the western region, we must establish a global concept, a system concept, a resource concept, a market concept and an effective concept, and take active measures to speed up the construction of the ecological environment in the west.
