Alibaba's Alipay announced on Monday that 100 million trees have been planted in the country's deserts as the number of its Ant Forest users reaches 500 million.

阿里巴巴的支付寶周一宣布，由于其螞蟻森林用戶數(shù)達到5億，國內(nèi)沙漠中已種植了1億棵樹。

The nearly 1.4 million mu (about 93,300 hectares) of forests have been planted as part of a nonprofit project to combat desertification and promote a low-carbon lifestyle started by Ant Financial, See Foundation and China Green Foundation in August 2016.

2016年8月，螞蟻金融，見基金會和中國綠色基金會啟動了近140萬畝（約93,300公頃）的森林，作為防治荒漠化和促進低碳生活方式的非營利項目的一部分。 

Alipay users who engage in low-carbon acts like renting a bike, taking the bus, or simply walking are rewarded with "green energy" that is used to "water" virtual trees in their mobile phones. And when a virtual tree grows up, a real tree will be planted by "Ant Forest," a function embedded in the Alipay app.

從事租賃自行車，乘坐公共汽車或簡單行走等低碳行為的支付寶用戶將獲得“綠色能源”獎勵，用于“移動”移動電話中的虛擬樹木。當虛擬樹長大時，真正的樹將被“Ant Forest”植入，這是嵌入在支付寶應用程序中的功能。

This way of planting trees was recognized on October 23, 2018 by the National Afforestation Committee as a means for citizens to fulfill their obligations of planting trees.

這種種植樹木的方式于2018年10月23日被國家造林委員會確認為公民履行種植樹木義務的手段。 

In February 2019, Hema Fresh, Alibaba's new retail-based supermarket chain, also joined in the Ant Forest scheme, allowing its customers to gain "green energy" if they choose not to use plastic bags while shopping.

2019年2月，阿里巴巴新的零售超市連鎖店Hema Fresh也參與了螞蟻森林計劃，如果他們選擇在購物時不使用塑料袋，則可以讓客戶獲得“綠色能源”。 

The Chinese government attaches great importance to the protection and restoration of ecosystems and afforestation projects have been implemented for decades. China aims to increase the forest cover to 23 percent by 2020, and to 26 percent by 2035.
