A team of professional scientists and researchers from the Mongolian Academy of Sciences will work within the framework of the “Billion Tree” national movement
The President of Mongolia, Khurelsukh U., told the 76th
session of the UN General Assembly on September 22 that the most effective way
to reduce climate change and desertification is to plant trees. Therefore, he put forward an
initiative to plant a billion trees by 2030, which the Academy of Sciences
agreed to support.
The Mongolian
Academy of Sciences is establishing a working group consisting of professional
scientists and researchers. The working group met and made the following
decisions.
Within the
framework of the "Billion Tree" national movement, the Mongolian
Academy of Sciences has developed a long-term and short-term action plan and
issued recommendations, methodologies and manuals based on the results of
scientifically based research on which trees, shrubs and shrubs are suitable
for planting in which natural zones. Advise on planting trees that are adapted
to the environment, create drought and desertification resistant varieties
suitable for different natural regions of Mongolia
Organize
short-term trainings for the population in stages before planting trees next
spring, as well as raise awareness of the need, importance and benefits of
planting trees for the needs of community members, shepherds and farmers who
own forest resources on a contractual basis, also train professional forest
specialists, provide professional and methodical consultations
Join the
"Billion Tree" national movement and co-organize a tree planting
event for the opening ceremony with representatives of the scientific community
in the Botanical Garden of the Botanic Garden and Research Institute and
Experimental and research tree nursery at Dambadarjaa of the Institute of
Geography and Geoecology
It is also important to cultivate trees so that they
can grow sustainably in the long run, improve management to create a green
business environment that benefits from them, intensify planting in degraded
and desertified areas, test bio-and organic fertilizers for beneficial microorganisms
and regional characteristics. It was decided to study the appropriate options,
post-planting, planting techniques, the characteristics of the
planted tree species, whether composting options increase soil fertility, and
how biofertilizers and organic fertilizers affect the accumulation of organic
matter in the soil.
