Walking in the garden <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong>, you may wonder who have identified and labeled the<br />

plants on campus. It is Greenlife's masterpiece. <strong>PKU</strong> Greenlife was initiated by the<br />

undergraduates <strong>of</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Life Science and established in June, 1996. It carries<br />

the purpose <strong>of</strong> ―Understand Nature, Perceive Life.‖, as can be read in its name.<br />

Since its establishment, it has taken in around one thousand <strong>PKU</strong> students and<br />

teachers who love nature and life science, and has organized a variety <strong>of</strong> activities,<br />

including lectures, visits, investigations and presentations.<br />

Popularizing a rudimentary knowledge <strong>of</strong> life science through visit to the arboretum,<br />

enhancing the nation‘s awareness <strong>of</strong> nature protection through ―Saving trees by<br />

cutting cards‖, and improving the environment through tree planting at the Great Wall<br />

are Greenlife‘s regular outdoor activities. Besides, it holds lectures on the frontiers <strong>of</strong><br />

life science as well as organizes field trips and social surveys. Observation on birds‘<br />

migration at Miyun Reservoir, survey on Chinese ibis‘ environment at Yang County,<br />

Shanxi, investigation on the relationship <strong>of</strong> wild monkeys and human being in<br />

Guangxi, quality test on water and air on campus, identification and labeling plants at<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> and a series <strong>of</strong> lectures on sexology, are among the most influential activities <strong>of</strong><br />

Greenlife.<br />
