Since 2019, with strong support from Ant Group and Ant Forest Foundation, CEPF has carried out the Ant Forest public-welfare project. Around 32 million plants, including arbor species such as populus euphratica, Chinese pine, mongolian pine and platycladus orientalis, as well as shrubs including haloxylon ammodendron, caragana and tamarix ramosissima, have been planted across Gansu, Hebei, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia, covering nearly 18,000 hectares. Through project implementation, positive contributions have been made to ecosystem conservation and restoration as well as the advancement of a Beautiful China.
