Mongolians plant over 70 thousand tree and bushes www.news.mn
Individuals and organisations across Mongolia were mobilised, into an army of trees planters as the 9th National Tree Planting Day was held on Saturday 12 May.
Nearly 21 thousand people planted 55 thousand trees and 17 thousand bushes at the National Park, the Mongol Naadam Complex and near the somewhat less picturesque Ulaanbaatar Central Wastewater Treatment Plant. They also watered and cared for the trees which had been planted previously.
Ulaanbaatar city administration announced 2018 as the year for improving the environment in which the population lives with the cooperation of the public.
A hectare of forest can refresh 18 cubic meters of air, absorb 25 percent of all noise, moisten 76 percent of air-borne dust and soak up 30-35 percent of air-pollution.
