ANT FOREST is a public welfare project aimed at promoting public low-carbon emission reduction. Everyone's low-carbon behavior can be regarded as "green energy" in ANT FOREST. When "green energy" accumulates to a certain extent, you can use your mobile phone to apply for planting a real tree in an area where the ecology is in urgent need of restoration, or "claim" protection rights and interests in an area where biodiversity is in urgent need of protection.
ANT FOREST's ecological restoration projects in various places are funded by Ant Group to non-profit organizations, which organize specific work such as planting and conservation, and local forestry departments conduct business supervision. All projects have corresponding donation agreements and acceptance reports. According to the data released by the National Low-carbon Day in 20021year by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, ANT FOREST has been online for five years since 20 16.
More than 6,654,380,300 people participated in a low-carbon life, generating more than 20 million tons of "green energy".
In order to encourage people to live a low-carbon life, ANT FOREST has participated in the ecological restoration in 1 1 provinces in the past five years, planting 326 million trees, of which Gansu and Inner Mongolia have more than 1 100 million trees. At the same time, ANT FOREST has set up 18 public welfare reserve in 10 provinces, protecting more than 1500 species of wild animals and plants.
Through eco-environmental protection projects in various places, ANT FOREST has created 2.38 million green employment opportunities such as planting, conservation and patrol, bringing 350 million yuan of labor income to local people.
Ant Group publicly stated that ANT FOREST's annual investment of hundreds of millions of yuan is purely charitable donation. Once the trees planted in ANT FOREST are donated, they belong to the state and society. If these trees generate carbon sinks in the future, they will all be used for public welfare. ANT FOREST has never been involved in carbon trading.
If the individual carbon emission reductions recorded by ANT FOREST can be traded in the future, all the benefits will belong to individual users, not ANT FOREST.
