The forestry carbon trades would not only help China against the climate change but also bring other ecosystem services along with reforestation and afforestation. China as a biggest carbon dioxide, is also suffering environmental degradation because of urgent economic development and corruption. However, China has also made a big effort on environmental improvements. To achieve a greener landscape, several reforestation and afforestation programs have been implemented since 1990s, e.g. Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) (also known as Conversion of Cropland to Forests Program (CCFP), and Grain for Green program) and Natural Forest Protection Program (NFPP).
