In recent years,the contradiction between social development and ecological environmental protection has increased sharply, especially as demands for ecological forestry construction have become ever greater. As one of the important ways to promote ecological environment construction, ecological forestry encourages soil and water conservation, biodiversity conservation and ecological environmental protection. Adequate funding in the construction of ecological forests and stable financing channels are the main factors that ensure the smooth development of ecological environmental construction. This paper describes the present situation for ecological environmental construction and ecological forestry. It analyzes the existing ecological forestry financing sources and channels and summarizes the successful experience of domestic and international lotteries. The ecological forestry financing channel is singular and inadequate funding is restricting the development of ecological environment construction. Active identification of new, stable financing channels is conducive to resolving the funding gap problem. An ecological lottery is suggested as a new type of ecological public welfare fund that has practical necessity and theoretical feasibility.
