Tsenkher Hot Spring & Community Based Rehabilitation of Green houses, Spring Head and its Zone
In Mongolia, there are not many hot springs. Hot springs are very useful to support local ecosystems during summer and many animal species over winter time. Some springs are used for resort purposes and treatment of many diseases. Every year many people come to the spring and undergo traditional medical treatment. Over the last several years foreign tourists start coming to the spring to overstay. So the situation is critical. The hot spring needs protection. The grant is to assist Tsenher hot spring local community group to conserve and protect the spring with surrounding ecosystem, while enhancing the local community capacity to support their livelihoods by themselves. The origin of the spring is now well protected. In return, 5 greenhouses were restored to grow different kinds of vegetable to support livelihoods of the local community.
