1- Carrying out activities participated by the public and aimed at slowing down desertification in Alxa, Inner Mongolia;
2 - Assessing, rewarding and sponsoring the environmental protection projects conducted by Chinese environmental NGOs through its "SEE-TNC Ecology Award", in an effort to support the development of these NGOs;
3 - Mobilizing and organizing enterprises to incorporate environmental protection measures in their operations. http://www.see.org.cn/English/index.html

It was founded in 1994 by two reporters who through their journalistic travels learned to appreciate the importance of protecting the environment. GEV began and still is an organization entirely composed of volunteers. There is no funding received from the government, and all projects are self-financed by the participants. The corps of volunteers mainly plants trees across China, but has also raised consciousness and funds for the protection of animals.
