Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. Within the framework of the ’50 million
trees’ program that will be co-implemented by the five entities
specialized in tree planting and rehabilitation, the Mongolian University of
Life Sciences and
the Research Institute of Horticulture of Siberia, three million trees are
planned to be planted next spring.
The program allows citizens to
plant trees online through the ‘Mod’ smartphone application, which will be launched
from February 4. This
means that the professional team will plant the trees ordered by the citizens through the application.
Using the application, it is possible for citizens to order larch, pine, willow, elm and spruce for MNT 2,500 respectively. The application also will offer a package of four types of trees for MNT 10,000.
As reflected in the program, 50 million trees will be planted over a period of 10 years in an area of 16,000 hectares in Khuder soum of Selenge aimag and 38 hectares in Ar Gunt, the capital city. It is possible to plant 20,9 million seedlings in Ar Gunt.
At the area to plant trees preparations such as installation of irrigation system, camera control and power transmission line have been made, said PhD B.Munkhbat from the Mongolian University of Life Sciences.
