China, Japan launch forest project

 

Greening Foundations of China and Japan launched a forest project aiming at protecting coastal environment in Tianjin Municipality, the biggest port city in north China, an official of China Greening Foundation said on March 31. The project is jointly launched by Japan's Greening Association and funded by Sino-Japan Greening Communication Fund (Obuchi Fund). It is the China's third project of this kind financed by the Fund, the official said. The Japanese foundation will provide 1.2 million yuan (176,470 U.S. dollars) and China will provide 6.8 million yuan (1 million U.S. dollars) to plant 200,000 trees in an area of 200 hectares in the next three years in Tianjin, 120 kilometers away from Beijing, according to the project agreement.
