The three herder groups, namely Berkh malchin, Shanagan and Bayanbulag, agreed to act as equal partner implementers under this project will carry out activities to combat soil erosion, land pasture degradation in their respective locations and put solid foundations for their continued future actions against adverse climate change effects and desertification in the dry steppe zone of Mongolia by starting with fencing some degraded pasture land to support natural re-generation of grasses and planting fruit and other drought resistant trees to further create and experience silvo-pasture.
