Green Earth Volunteers (GEV) is one of China's oldest indigenous environmental NGOs. Founded in 1996 by radio journalist Ms. Wang Yongchen, Green Earth Volunteers serves as a vehicle for grass-roots participation and remains dedicated to expanding Chinese citizens’ active understanding of environmental issues. GEV conducts educational trips and activities, holds a monthly "Journalist Salon" to bring key environmental journalists and specialists together to discuss breaking issues and publishes a daily news digest, which  on average includes 15-20 items and is sent to nearly 1000 recipients.  These stories document matters related to pollution and health, enforcement and justice, and climate change.  Through its salons and this digest, Green Earth Volunteers is fostering a nation-wide network of concerned journalists, which now constitutes a potent force in China's indigenous environmental moment.
