According to an official concerned, the main stress has been directed to creating and conserving forests in this year's campaign.

Tree-planting is being carried out on the principle of mixing coniferous trees with broad-leaved trees and in a scientific way across the country.

Meanwhile, big efforts have been paid to preventing forest fire.

The Ogasan Nature Reserve Management Station and other forestry management stations installed modern monitoring devices to take due measures against forest fire. And they have also paid deep attention to protecting forests against harmful insects by means of trichogramme evanescena.

Positive measures have also been taken one after another to lengthen the serviceable life of timber and decrease dependence on forests.

The railway transport sector developed an antiseptic technology for sleepers, thus making it possible to extend the serviceable life of wooden structures.

And measures for reducing wood consumption have been worked out in the fields of construction and building materials, coal-mining, chemical and agricultural industries.
