Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.
“YAVGAAN BOTANICAL GARDEN” – Tree Nursery and Research Center with Laboratory Facilities
This non-governmental organization is implementing a project to establish the “Yavgaan” Botanical Garden, a research and study facility dedicated to tree nursery and seedling cultivation, on a 20-hectare site located in the 3rd subdistrict of Nalaikh District, Ulaanbaatar City.
01
Reason for Project Implementation
According to the 2020 ND-GAIN Index, Mongolia is classified among the countries most vulnerable to climate change due to political, geographical, and social factors, ranking 67th out of 181 countries. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) report states that while the global average temperature has increased by 0.86°C over the past 100 years, Mongolia has experienced a significantly higher rate of climate change, with its annual average temperature rising by 2.24°C between 1940 and 2015, accompanied by a decrease in total annual precipitation. Projections indicate that by 2090, climate change in Mongolia could reach a level of 5.3°C, which is substantially higher compared to the global average.
For Mongolia, severe droughts have become increasingly frequent, posing a serious threat of forest area reduction. In addition, droughts caused by climate change are leading to the degradation and potential “desertification” of Mongolia's steppes. River flows have fallen significantly below their long-term averages, resulting in the complete drying up of more than 600 rivers. According to Mongolia’s Third National Communication submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), by 2081–2100, changes in the distribution of various tree species are expected to cause a 1–6% decrease in total forest cover.
The rapid progression of global warming is directly linked to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gas emissions in the Earth’s atmosphere. Urban areas are the primary contributors to climate change, and, in turn, the negative impacts are felt most severely by the populations living in these areas. This has become the fundamental reason for implementing this project.

Project Objective
1
The contribution of this project to mitigating global warming can be evaluated on two levels: international and national.
2
At the international level, Mongolia has made commitments and assumed obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which was established to prevent greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere from reaching dangerous levels that could negatively affect the climate system due to human activities. Additionally, Mongolia is a party to the Paris Agreement, which aims to mitigate climate change, enhance adaptation, and provide financial support for related actions. Furthermore, Mongolia is implementing a national program focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation.
We believe that our tree nursery with a fully equipped laboratory will make a valuable contribution to the “Billion Trees” national movement, initiated by the President of Mongolia, as well as to the goals and objectives of the Forest Agency under the Government of Mongolia.
Our work will focus on reforestation, afforestation, improving the methods and technologies for cultivating seedlings and saplings, and ensuring sustainable forest restoration practices nationwide.
03
Project Model
This project will be developed in collaboration with local and international organizations, focusing on key parameters such as reducing carbon emissions, tree planting, forest management practices, and establishing a permanent monitoring mechanism.
