Mission

Nomad Green wishes to become the portal of Mongolian citizens who care about the environmental issues that the country is facing with.

Our goals are:
1. Building a database of Mongolia environmental issues and make it fully accessible on Internet, with the help of university students in Mongolia and Taiwan. We use multiple free online services and softwares like WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Flickr, SeeClickFix and Slideshare to construct our website.

2. Holding a series of Blog and new media training workshops. With the help of Rising Voices, MTF(Mongolian and Tibetan Foundation, Taiwan) , Green Coalition of Ulaanbaatar, and Mongolian Green Party, Nomad Green has trained more than 250 Mongolian citizen journalists in 2009. Our first round of workshops in 2010 will begin in Jube in Ulaanbaatar and another 4 towns in Mongolia.

3. Combining SeeClickFix map and blog posts. By combining SeeClickFix map function and our blog posts by citizen journalists, we can alert and emphasize the environmental concerns and problems from Mongolian citizens' perspective.

4. Encouraging more direct interaction between Mongolian citizens, NGOs, and government. Promote transparency and anti-corruption to public and private sectors in Mongolia.

5. Raise the priority of environmental protection locally while globalize Mongolian environmental issues.

6. Decrease project cost year by year while turning Nomad Green into a self-sustaining independent citizen media.

With Mongolian government signing minefield contracts with more and more foreign companies without strict requirement on reforestation, restoration and supervision, citizens are worrying about even severer corruption inside Mongolian young democracy and catastrophic pollution that can never be undone. Therefore, Nomad Green is trying hard to gain its muscle in 2010.
