Official Launch of the Pu’er Sustainable Forest Management Demonstration and Training Base
With the continuous and joint-efforts from APFNet, the forestry authorities in Yunnan province and Pu’er city and the Southwest Forestry University, the APFNet Pu’er Sustainable Forest Management Demonstration and Training Base, focusing on showcasing best practices in sustainable forest management in tropical and subtropical area, launched on July 27, 2021. It is the second demonstration and training base for Adding Green for Asia and the Pacific, the first one having launched in 2019 as the APFNet Multifunction Forest Management Demonstration and Experience Base in Chifeng city, Inner Mongolia, focusing on demonstrating the best practices of sustainable forest management in arid and semi-arid areas.
Launch Ceremony of APFNet Pu’er SFM Demonstration and Training Base
The APFNet Pu’er Sustainable Forest Management Demonstration and Training Base will offer opportunities to conduct scientific research related to forests and forestry, forestry training, environmental education and a platform for information exchange and policy dialogue to promote sustainable forest management in the Greater Mekong Subregion and other regions in Asia-Pacific.
Mr. Lu De, the Executive Director of APFNet, issued the Carbon Sink Potential of Wangzhangshan Forest Farm Report

APFNet Pu’er Sustainable Forest Management Demonstration and Training Base
Workshops related to the Greater Mekong Subregion on forestry cooperation, a carbon neutralization and forest carbon sequestration measurement training, a seminar on how forest management policy is translated into practice in China, events supporting the creation and exhibition of ecoculture, and a forest experience and environmental education event for students in Pu'er will be held at the APFNet Pu’er Sustainable Forest Management Demonstration and Training Base in the upcoming week.
Finally, during the launch ceremony, APFNet issued the Carbon Sink Potential of Wangzhangshan Forest Farm Report, which is the first report of such kind at state forest farm level. Future carbon sequestration capacities based on four different forest management schemes were simulated through the Forest Stimulation Optimizing System. The report estimates that, if reasonable forest management measures could be adopted, the forest carbon sequestration of Wanzhangshan Forest Farm will increase from 2.59 million tons in 2019 to 4.15 million tons in 2060, with an average annual carbon sequestration increment of 39,000 tons.
