The Only Way to Stop Desertification Is Reforestation

(Translated by Uyanga)

Today we faced urgent issues that what we can do to save the forest? The desertification and dryness are increasing dramatically. You might agree with reason of this problem is that we don’t save our nature .

The forest forms ecosystem and emits oxygen and take out ground water, plays huge role in improving soil nourishment.

Let’s take a look at what the Forest Department do within the framework to save forest and reforest. The working process is going with 70-80%. The regulation. Buying the planted trees from families starts at the price from 400-800 tugrik. Within the “Atar” campaign work , the lost forest belt issues are solved positively. By solving this problem, it has positive effects on soil fertility and forms the environment to produce rich harvest.

70-90% of the Mongolian territory are desertified . 50% of them are greatly desertified. The result of desertification is influencing many sectors. Until now, trees were planted in 1000 hectare area of Gobi and in 12000 hectare area of forest zone.  In recent years, 5000-8000 hectare areas were reforested and experts consider that in this year the reforestation work went more efficiently.

From this year, the government paid more attention and planned to take effective measures. One of these measures is within the framework of implementing the project of planting sea buckthorn in 20000 hectare area and to build industries to take care of it .

However, the construction companies show construction blueprint with green garden when they got the license. Then they bring trees from forest and plant it outside of the building. Unfortunately it died very soon. How could taking out the natural trees from the forest and let them die be a good solution of reforestation?
