Deforestation is a serious problem in Mongolia. Before 1990, forests covered 10% of the country, but only 7% today. This is caused by uncontrolled tree cutting, forest fires, and global warming. On the other hand, it takes a long time for trees to grow, and May and mid-October are the only times for planting trees in Mongolia. As a volunteer in this project, you can help planting trees in several areas around Ulaanbaatar and Buhug river. Participants are expected to like planting work and a simple nomadic life. The project site is located 45 km from Ulaanbaatar, in a beautiful hilly area where one can experience the real nomadic lifestyle. Half of the population of the country lives in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar.
