Ant Forest users are encouraged to record their low-carbon footprint through daily actions like taking public transport or paying utility bills online. For each action, they receive ‘green energy’ points and when they accumulate a certain number of points, an actual tree is planted.Users can view images of their trees in real-time via satellite. 用户通过在“蚂蚁丛林”里笔录本身日常生活中公交出行、在线付出水电费等低碳动作积累“绿色能量”积分，等积分累积到必然数额的时候，就能够种下一颗实正的树。用户能够通过卫星实时图像查看本身种的树。
In addition to tree-planting, users can choose to protect certain size of conservation land on Ant Forest platform, which is also exploring innovative solutions to alleviate poverty and improve the lives of local people by leveraging the power of digital technology. 除了种树以外，用户还能够通过“蚂蚁丛林”平台认领庇护地，通过数字手艺手段摸索立异扶贫体例，改进本地人民的生活程度。
Since its launch in August 2016, Ant Forest and its NGO partners have planted some 122 million trees in China's driest areas, which include regions in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai and Shanxi.
