On May 23, 2025, Save the Children in Mongolia launched the spring planting opening of its My Forest Child project in the 5th khoroo of Nalaikh District, Ulaanbaatar. The project, funded by Save the Children Korea, aims to establish a 5-hectare forest that will serve as both an educational and recreational space for children and the wider community.<\/p>\n

At the opening ceremony, Bayan-Altai Luvsandorj, Country Manager of Save the Children in Mongolia shared, \u201cMy Forest Child is our first environmentally focused project. It\u2019s designed to reduce our environmental footprint and offer children a hands-on opportunity to learn about nature. This forest will not only be a space for learning and research, but also a place for children to play, explore, and grow. I\u2019m especially proud that we\u2019ve managed to build the fence and start construction in such a short time.<\/p>\n

T. Batsukh, a member of the Nalaikh Citizens’ Representative Khural and head of the Environment and Green Development Committee, praised the project, \u201cThis forest is more than just a development for Nalaikh. It reflects our broader commitment to green and sustainable growth. I\u2019m thrilled that work has begun to plant 90,000 trees here in response to climate change. We will do everything to make this initiative successful and meaningful for our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event was also attended by Kh. Oyuntsetseg, advisor to the Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia, who extended her congratulations and support.<\/p>\n

As part of the launch, Save the Children staff planted 172 poplar trees to support forest protection. Tree planting guidance was provided by project advisor and agronomist B. Zandankhuu, who shared tips on proper planting and care techniques.<\/p>\n

One of the participants, Save the Children staff member Nomingerel P said, \u201cIt feels amazing to take part in building a greener future for the next generation. Planting trees helps increase green spaces, fight climate change, and reduce pollution. I can already imagine this turning into a beautiful forest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Launched in August 2024, the \u201cMy Forest Child\u201d project is training local residents to become climate change educators. So far, 50 residents have been trained, and they are leading awareness activities across the district. In collaboration with Nalaikh\u2019s Urban Development and Public Services Department and the Elders\u2019 Committee, over 250 residents and more than 190 students have already participated in training sessions. By the end of 2025, the project aims to reach 1,500 people.<\/p>\n

The project is also supporting the creation of eco-clubs in schools across Nalaikh. With support from the project team, students have already launched micro projects in six schools to promote environmental education and climate awareness.<\/p>\n

My Forest Child initiative is not just about planting trees. It\u2019s about planting knowledge, hope, and responsibility for a greener and more sustainable future in the hearts of Nalaikh district\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
