Polish Chamber tests tree cuttings in a Mongolian province

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Specialist from the Polish Chamber of Biomass are visiting Mongolian Bayanhongor province to populate fast growing trees there. They have brought some 8,000 tree cuttings with them to test their habitation process after planting in three different types of soil. The Chamber is implementing the reforestation project as a part of their cooperation with the aimag's forest protection authority and vocational training center. The project aims to reverse desertification, an issue that has been facing the province recent years, besides, the trees are supposed to meet firewood needs of the locals in future. Seeking for an effective solution to the desertification, the province administration earlier approached to Ambassador of Mongolia in Poland, asking to take an intermediary role between the parts, and then received a support from the Ministry for Environment and Green Development of Mongolia.
