Bio-diversity

In Mongolia, community garden is something new. As people in the countryside have been herding livestock over many centuries or deal with crop growing for the last 40-50 years in large fields, there was no chance to practice community garden in the past. The grant is to establish a community garden with fruit and other trees in the right bank of Haraa river nearby Zuunharaa village to support livelihoods of some local community members. Some 1 ha area was fenced and planted with sea buckthorn, black currant and other tree seedlings to develop a community garden. Two greenhouses were also put up to raise tree seedlings. A three women and one man group works in the project implementation place in the right bank of Haraa river near Zuunharaa village.
