Yuhan Group, one of South Korea’s leading companies, has joined Mongolia’s Billion Trees National Movement. This partnership demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental restoration and sustainable development. In a ceremony held in Seoul, key leaders from both countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen cooperation.
The agreement involves the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization, Mongolia’s National Forest Agency, and the Billion Trees National Movement NGO. Together, they plan to restore forests damaged by fire in Batsumber soum of Tuv aimag. The project aims to increase forest coverage, protect biodiversity, and contribute to climate change mitigation.
Yuhan Group’s subsidiary, Yuhan-Kimberly, brings valuable experience to the project. Previously, the company successfully restored the Tujin Nars forest in Selenge aimag. This expertise ensures that restoration efforts under the Billion Trees National Movement will follow best practices and achieve lasting results.
Moreover, the collaboration reflects strong diplomatic and business relations between Mongolia and South Korea. The Mongolian ambassador to South Korea highlighted the importance of involving experienced companies like Yuhan Group in national environmental initiatives. This partnership strengthens ties while addressing urgent ecological challenges.
The Billion Trees National Movement seeks to mobilize both national and international partners. By engaging corporations, NGOs, and government agencies, the initiative aims to plant billions of trees across Mongolia. It not only restores degraded land but also supports rural communities and promotes sustainable forestry.
Through this new agreement, Yuhan Group will actively contribute resources, technical expertise, and project management skills. Officials expect the Batsumber restoration project to serve as a model for future reforestation efforts. Additionally, the project emphasizes accountability, efficiency, and measurable environmental outcomes.
In conclusion, the Billion Trees National Movement now benefits from Yuhan Group’s proven experience and commitment. The partnership illustrates how international cooperation can advance forest restoration. With ongoing collaboration, Mongolia can restore fire-damaged areas while inspiring global efforts in sustainable forestry.
