Desertification has become such a serious issue that there is a pressing need for us to resolve it immediately. Nearly 20 percent of China's land territory has turned to desertified land due to natural and human factors, and overall desertification continues worsen. The policy of forest exploitation and monoculture in China is the primary cause that has led to disastrous consequences, including degradation of forests and landscapes, serious soil erosion and catastrophic flooding, and especially deforestation. In order to resolve this desertification and realize the sustainable development of forestry, the Chinese government has begun to modify Chinese forest policies and make a series of plans and programs on forest resources and combating desertification. Hence there have been many statutes with provisions relating to forest conservation. Although since the "reform and opening", much has been done in reforming Chinese forest policy, the situation of the desertification is still worsening. In this paper, we will analyze the relationship between the desertification and current Chinese forest policy in order to develop an adequate forest policy system to control and resolve the desertification and to realize sustainable development of the environment in China.
