Mongolia had made a pledge to declare up to 30 % of its territory as protected areas. This goal is also reflected in Mongolia?s MDGs targets by 2015. As of today, about 14% of Mongolia?s territory has been declared as specially protected areas. To meet the above target, it is essential to establish locally/community protected areas. In many cases, locally protected areas are protected and managed better than specially protected areas. The project intends to further establish a locally protected area with ecotourism development by starting with plantation of fruit and other tree seedlings and by taking other protective measures and nature conservation activities. The area of project implementation is now fully protected. The side where impacts come from has been fenced, blocking passage of vehicles and livestock which may destroy planted fruit seedlings. There have been planted over 2700 fruit and other tree seedlings in the protected area. Three hand well were dug. Local herders are supplied with water from the wells and are very supportive for activities in the protected area. Some ecotourism facilities are sought to be placed in the area.
