Mongolia to Implement Project for Improving Peatland Ecosytems www.montsame.mn
The “Managing Peatlands of Mongolia, Improving the Adaptivity of Pasture Ecosystems and Nomadic Livelihoods” project will be implemented in the peatland areas of Khuvsgul, Arkhangai, Bulgan, and Khentii aimags.
Through this project, 1,000 hectares of peatlands will be restored and 1,000 hectares of land will be improved using sustainable management practices. This is expected to increase carbon absorption while also preventing the emission of 594,000 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 20 years. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism reported that at least 14,000 people will directly benefit from the outcomes of the project.
The Climate Change Research and Cooperation Center of Mongolia, which is overseeing the project, aims at enhancing peatland ecosystem services in Mongolia. In particular, it seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from degraded peatlands, curb land degradation, strengthen the capacity of the local reindeer herders, improve ecosystem services, and bolster the population’s ability to adapt to climate change.
Peatlands in Mongolia are critically important ecosystems for carbon absorption, water purification, and biodiversity conservation. Unfortunately, due to climate change, the improper use of natural resources, and overgrazing, these wetlands have deteriorated, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and reduced ecosystem services.
