In August 2009, GCL Jiangsu Branch participated in the public benefit activity of "picking up rubbish in the scenic spot to protect the habitat of Chinese luehdorfia". Zijin Mountain is the natural "green lung" of the ancient city of Nanjing. However, in recent years, the rubbish discarded by some tourists has deteriorated the living environment of many wild animals inhabiting Zijin Mountain, including Chinese luehdorfia which is a national second-class protected animal species. Staff of the Jiangsu Branch picked up rubbish at Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, creating a good living environment for Chinese luehdorfia.
