Some of you may play Ant Forest. It is a game on Alipay(支付宝). Users collect “energy” to make their "trees” grow. When the “energy” reaches a certain level, some organizations(组织) and companies will plant a real tree in a desert(沙漠) area of China. And now it seems that our country has made the world a greener place for people all over the world.

A study by NASA(美国航空航天局) in February showed that China and India have made the Earth greener over the past two years. The study has found that since 2000 the Earth's green leaf area has increased(增加) by over 5 million square kilometers. That's the same size as the total area of the Amazon(亚马逊) rainforest. It is mostly the result of big tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture(集约化农业) in both countries, according to NASA.

China and India have only 9% of the planet's land area covered in vegetation(陆地植被面积), but they did one third of the increased greening for the whole world." Chi Chen, the study's lead author(作者) and a researcher(研究员)at Boston University, US, told CNN(美国有线电视新闻网). China was the major contributor(主要贡献者), adding 25% to this increase, while India added 6.8%.

Over the past ten years, China has done something great to green the land. In 1978, China began a national forestation project(植树造林工程). It is also known as theGreat Green Wall". The program has seen many trees planted in thirteen provinces in northern China to act as windbreaks, according to China Daily.

With China's success in dealing with forestation, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP联合国环境规划署) believes China is a good example for others to follow.China is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert and has lessons to share with the world," UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim(执行主任埃里克索尔海)told Xinhua.
