  "account": "The Korea Forest Service sent junior youth public officials to Mongolia to study international forest cooperation projects and gather ideas for future policies. The officials spent time inspecting afforestation sites aimed at preventing desertification in Mongolia, collaborating with the Korea-Mongolia Greenbelt Project Group. They learned about the forest fire disaster management system in response to the climate crisis, focusing on sustainable forest ODA models like agroforestry and public-private partnerships.\n\nThe youth officials visited two nursery offices in Selenge and Uvurkhangai, observing customized afforestation and nursery technologies tailored to Mongolia's climate and soil. They then visited a forest fire observation tower, disaster situation room, and fire-damaged sites to assess the disaster prevention system. The officials participated in restoration work by planting trees and conducted field investigations on a regional win-win model. They toured agroforestry projects in Lun Soum, the Yuhan-Kimberly Forest in Tujin Nars, and a public-private partnership participatory forest in Terelj National Park, directly witnessing the impact of government-private enterprise cooperation on local economies and ecosystems.\n\nDrawing on their field experiences, the officials held team discussions to identify practical policy improvement tasks. The Korea Forest Service plans to incorporate the ideas generated from this fieldwork into their future policy-making process. Director Lee Hyun-ju of the International Cooperation Division stated that the youth officials' insights will be integrated into policies and that the exchange and cooperation of forest technologies between the two countries will be further enhanced through the upcoming Phase 4 of the Korea-Mongolia Greenbelt Project.",
