2021年4月22日世界地球日，GEOX杰欧适正式开启将贯穿2021全年的“Walk for Earth——为地球行走”系列“履”程，由WWF（世界自然基金会）顾问带队走进自然，了解人类与自然之间紧密的关系，呼吁关注自然环境一齐“践行绿色生活，倡导生物多样性保护，珍爱地球，促进人与自然和谐共生”。

On April 22, 2021, The World Earth Day, GEOX launched the "Walk for Earth" journey which will last until the end of the year. The expedition, guided by WWF（Nature or World Wildlife Fund）experts, is to discover nature and the harmonious coexistence between mankind and wildlife, championing for “Green Living, Biodiversity Preservation, Earth Conservation, and Coexistence with Nature”.

GEOX于8月3日至5日开启“Walk for Earth——为地球行走”系列“履”程第二站，在WWF顾问的带领及青海省湿地保护协会的支持下来到了中国面积最大、世界海拔最高、生物多样性极其丰富、高原湿地生态系统最完整、生态价值最高的自然保护地——三江源，并邀请到FIRST青年电影展作为本次“履”程的同行合作伙伴，全程参与到“Walk for Earth—为地球行走”系列“履”程的记录与创作工作中。通过行走体验与镜头的记录，共同体会并认识自然与人类可持续发展之间的关系。

On August 3, GEOX set in motion the second journey of the "Walk for Earth" series which lasted for three days. Led by WWF advisors and supported by the Qinghai Wetland Conservation Association, the destination is Sanjiangyuan – China’s largest and world’s highest nature reserve with the richest biodiversity, the most complete plateau wetland ecosystem, and the maximal ecological value. " FIRST International Film Festival is the official partner of this Qinghai trekking journey, to participate in the video recording and production of the 2021 GEOX “Walk for Earth” campaign. This is a discovery of the intricate relationship between mankind and nature through footpath and camera lenses.

三江源区位于青藏高原腹地、青海省南部，为长江、黄河和澜沧江的源头汇水区，总面积36.3万平方公里，约占青海省总面积的50.4％，是我国淡水资源的重要补给地，因丰富的水资源而被喻为“中华水塔”。这里湖泊、沼泽、河流、高山草甸及冰川等湿地交替分布，组成了我国最重要的高原湿地生态系统，是黑颈鹤、斑头雁、雪豹、藏羚羊、狼等珍稀和重要野生动物耐以生存的栖息地。我们行走于三江源地区，感受它的壮阔、了解生物多样性、探索独特的高原湿地生态系统和水源涵养地，思考如何践行我们可持续的未来。

Located in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the southern end of Qinghai Province, the Sanjiangyuan area is the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Mekong rivers. This area is an important freshwater resource of the country, covering a total area of 363,000km2 which is equivalent to 50.4% of the entire Qinghai Province. It is called the "Chinese Water Tower" because of its abundant water resource, this is a habitat for rare and important wildlife such as black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, snow leopards, Tibetan antelopes and wolves. We walked through the Sanjiangyuan region to experience its magnificence, learn about biodiversity, explore the unique plateau wetland ecosystem and water conservation areas, and contemplate upon a sustainable future.

三天两夜的旅程行过冬给措那湖国家湿地公园和隆宝国家级自然保护区，从花石峡西边沿大型淡水湖冬格措那湖北岸一路往西行进，一路观察水鸟、岩羊、藏野驴、藏原羊等野生动物，聆听WWF顾问诉说有关冬格措那湖的生态、以及雪豹和其他野生动物的知识。

The three-day and two-night journey traveled through the Donggei Lake National Wetland Park and Longbao National Nature Reserve. Embarked from Huashixia, walked along the north shore of Donggei Lake to the west to observe waterbirds, Alpine Rock Sheep, Equus kiangs, Tibetan gazelles and other wild animals throughout the trek. WWF specialists enlightened us on the ecology of Namtso Lake, snow leopards and other wild animals.

冬格措那湖藏语的意思是”一千座山围城的圣湖”，湖面面积232 平方公里，地处海拔4117米的高原之上，为青藏高原上的大型淡水湖之一。沿路领略到冬格措那湖最美的地方，并观赏湖边沼泽湿地里栖息的黑颈鹤、斑头雁、鸥类及鹬类等水鸟，在湛蓝的天空下，碧蓝的湖水和浅黄的草甸交织在一起，水鸟在烟波浩渺的湖面上盘旋，构成风光旖旎的美景。

Dongge Tsona Lake means " a sacred lake surrounded by a thousand mountains" in the Tibetan language. It is one of the largest freshwater lakes on the Tibetan plateau, covering a surface area of 232 square kilometers at an altitude of 4,117 meters. We walked past the most beautiful parts of the Dongge Tsona Lake and spotted black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, gulls and sandpiper. The clear blue sky, turquoise-colored lake surface and light-yellow meadowland formed an astonishing scenery. 

Along the mountain ridges and rocky forests, we observed the snow leopard, blue sheep and upland buzzards, yet missing the traces of snow leopards. It was dispiriting to find litters in such beautiful environment, we took the lead and called for cleaning actions which was met with wide responsiveness. 

青海隆宝国家级自然保护区地处长江源区域，隶属玉树藏族自治州，海拔约4200米，也是青海省第一个国家级自然保护区，以黑颈鹤及湿地生态系统保护为目标。“隆宝”是藏语，意为有鱼有鸟的沼泽。隆宝保护区是中国首个黑颈鹤繁殖地保护区，是三江源区已知繁殖黑颈鹤种群密度最高的地区。黑颈鹤是国家一级保护动物、青海省省鸟，栖息于海拔2500-5000米的高原草甸、湖滨、河谷沼泽和芦苇沼泽，是世界上唯一生长、繁殖在高原的鹤。藏族人格外珍爱，认为它象征着高尚与纯洁。黑颈鹤被藏族称为“格萨尔达孜”，意为格萨尔王的牧马官。

The Qinghai Longbao National Nature Reserve is located at the waterhead of the Yangtze River and is part of the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, at an altitude of about 4,200 meters. It is the first national nature reserve in the Qinghai Province, built to protect black-necked cranes and wetland ecosystems. The name "Longbao" is a Tibetan word, meaning a swamp with fish and birds. Longbao National Nature Reserve is the first black-necked crane breeding site in China and the highest known population density in the Sanjiangyuan area. The black-necked crane is a national-level protected animal and the provincial bird of Qinghai, inhabiting plateau meadows, lakeshores, river valley swamps and reed swamps at altitudes of 2,500-5,000 meters, and is the only crane in the world that grows and breeds on the plateau. They are particularly treasured by Tibetans who believe the bird symbolizes nobility and purity, commonly known as "Gesar Dazi", meaning the horse herding officer of King Gesar.

随着“履”程的不断深入，我们一行人登上了行程的制高点，长江流域与黄河流域的分水岭巴颜喀拉山，这里盛产被人们称之为“高原之舟”的牦牛，举世闻名的藏系绵羊，故有“牦牛的故乡”之称。

Bayan Har Mountains, the highest point of the journey, is the watershed between the Yangtze and Yellow River basins where it is called the “home of the yaks” because of the yak and the world-famous Tibetan goat population here. 

The Sanjiangyuan journey has uncovered the beauty of the Tibetan plateau. This is also a spiritual adventure to experience and appreciate nature, wildlife and cultural diversity.
