The four parties decided to take the topic of "Sanjiangyuan Biodiversity and Unique Resources Conservation and Utilization" as an important research direction for the Joint Ecosystem Building Plan in the Sanjiangyuan National Park, and successfully completed the signing of the Four-Party Cooperation Agreement and the donation of NIO vehicles.

The research station is located in Banma county of Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, a county receiving prime assistance in the national rural revitalization scheme. Constructed by Dibin Chen, a NIO user, and his voluntary design team for two years, this station consists of facilities for wildlife observation, highland ecology and environmental research, environment protection education and so on.

The inauguration ceremony welcomed on the first day the mother match, NIO users from 12 provinces and districts, who successfully completed the "Clean Parks｜Sanjiangyuan Visiting Activity" based on this research station. The ecological visit was led by professors from Qinghai University, as well as technical experts and botanists from National Forestry and Grassland Administration, and gained support from NIO’s Xining Company led by Lei Yan. The team explored the ecology around the station, collected plant specimens, researched the environmental system of the Sanjiangyuan National Park, and took part in the “academic research on highland ecosystem” organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so as to share values and grow together.

This visit strictly complies with the Notice on the Prohibition of Travel, Exploration, Crossing and Other Activities in the Core Reserve of Sanjiangyuan National Park issued by the park administration.

Over the last year, more than 2,800 users have taken part in the NIO Users Public Welfare Footprint Program, in which they took the initiative to seek like-minded volunteer friends in this community and have shared their stories about public welfare. Moreover, in order to better support our enthusiastic public-spirited users, NIO Users Trust has established the NIO Users Foundation and carried out 24 public welfare projects under the mode of “public welfare support and service platform”, benefitting over 10,000 households.

Going forward, NIO Users Trust will maintain a close relationship with users and practice philanthropy with concrete actions to shape a better and more sustainable future.
