Capacity building
|
Working in Ikh Nart Nature Reserve (INNR) in Dornogovi Province, in Eastern Mongolia, we are building capacity among INNR staff and collaborators, as well as local indigenous community leaders to restore the rangelands. Community members are learning about ecological restoration to help retain and spread the water across the landscape to help revive dormant or dry springs - for the benefit of lifestock, wildlife, and the ecosystem.
