37,500 new trees have grown in a land scorched by wildfire in Mongolia’s Batsumber soum, as reported by Yuhan. The company announced these findings during the “Business for Land” session at the UNCCD’s 17th Conference in Mongolia. Central to Yuhan's presentation was a global partnership model that linked a private enterprise to public entities.
Working together with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO), Mongolia’s National Forest Agency (NFA), and the NGO Billion Tree, Yuhan carried out the project through a cooperative framework. In its inaugural year, the planting of seedlings covered around 15 hectares of deforested terrain. Yuhan officials joined the project partners on-site to monitor the seedlings' growth and management.
The delegation shared insights on sustainable forest management practices and future restoration goals, enhancing the project's overall quality. The restoration work will be a phased endeavor, with plans to augment the restoration area by 15 hectares each year, as outlined in a multilateral memorandum of understanding signed last year.
The strategy aims to combat desertification and restore ecosystems through a systematic process. In addition to planting forests, activities aimed at enhancing environmental awareness among local residents are gaining momentum. One such initiative is the “Forest Drawing Contest,” which engaged about 700 young people from Batsumber soum this year.
During the monitoring phase, Yuhan presented awards to contest participants, strengthening ties with the local community. Cho Min-cheol, Yuhan's head of ESG Management, stated that the company's attendance at the conference enabled it to showcase a cooperation model for tackling global environmental issues.
