In 2018, Zhejiang's rural green revival program won the UNEP's Champions of the Earth award. The Saihanba afforestation project in the country's north and public welfare platform Alipay Ant Forest also won the UN's top environment honor in 2017 and 2019, respectively.
A study in 2019 using data from NASA satellites showed that China had contributed to at least 25 percent of the increase in the global green leaf area since the early 2000s, ranking first in the world.
While realizing a balanced growth of economic development and ecological restoration, China has also been sharing its useful experiences in eco-protection with other countries.
Inspired by the innovative move of Alipay Ant Forest in ecological restoration, the Philippines' leading mobile wallet GCash introduced GCash Forest on its app last year, aiming to mitigate deforestation in the country.
In Kenya, Chinese-built Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway succeeded in accommodating wildlife needs, thus causing minimal interference to the animals.
In Bali, Indonesia, China Huadian Corporation has overcome the challenge of building and operating a coal-fired power plant in a world-class tourist destination, by keeping the emission of sulfur dioxide, hydroxide and dust close to zero, and strictly handling industrial and domestic water discharge.
Erik Solheim, former UN Under-Secretary-General and executive director of UNEP, had visited Zhejiang several times and was impressed by the change.
