As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to go deep into the hinterland of Dunhuang, explore areas that are difficult for ordinary tourists to reach, meet like-minded friends, feel the vitality of the red willow Spring, and record the moment when the Halsa tree grows stubbornly in the wind and sand. You will help people see the hope behind desertification, and feel the significance of each tree and grass for the land and the power of sustainable development in desertification areas.

The Green Vision Program is an ecological civilization construction project sponsored by the Hubei International Training Center of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. It aims to improve the ecology of global desertification land by means of afforestation, soil and water conservation and scientific and technological innovation, and promote desertification areas towards a glorious future of sustainable development.

On this journey of "green action", we extend the most sincere invitation to you to join us and become the practitioners, chroniclers and disseminators of this action. Use your talent and enthusiasm to participate in the greening action, record every exciting moment of this action with firm strength, so that these moments become eternal, and become the source of power to protect People and Planet.
