The grant has invested in the establishment of a tree nursery in a remote Gobi area- Bogd soum of Bayanhongor province, where intensive desertification takes place, destroying pasture and leaving livestock without grasses under the worsening climate change effects. The tree nursery in the Gobi is intended to raise fast growing tree seedlings including willow trees that can be used as fodder and fuel woods to replace saxaul. At the project site about 0.8 ha area was fenced to be separated from livestock influence and a well was drilled for irrigation/ water supply purpose. A few of fact growing trees have been planted inside the fence and put under close observation to follow on how they grow and what are the needed actions.
