How long does it take one to find an ideal job? For Wang Ximin, head of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden's environmental education team, it is 12 years.

‘Nature Journaling’was initiated by XTBG in local schools. The activity involved groups of young children of varying ages. Each child was given an XTBG notebook with the first step taking place in the classroom where the students were asked to draw their own version of a leaf, ant or flower. Next, some of the participants were chosen to come to the front of the class to present their artwork.Then we headed outside for some true nature exploration where the children could search the school grounds to observe and sketch leaves, ants or flowers in real form. Finally, after some time outdoors, we headed back into the classroom and asked a few students to present their drawings and note the differences. We were all amazed by the skills of the students. Their artwork became full of life, detail and diversity.
