The early days of NPO-Greenlife were not easy. Yi Jiefang went to the deserts of Inner Mongolia and saw vast areas of dry lands with little agriculture. The local government agreed with her proposal to plant one million trees in the region over ten years. However, her team had little experience of tree planting and the first trees were blown away! Although there seemed only a slim chance that the trees could survive, the difficulty did not prevent her from trying. It had always been her policy never to give up. Now the trees have a survival rate of 85%.
