Planting Seeds for Mongolia's Future Amid Desertification

An environmental organization from Busan has offered a small ray of hope by planting trees on the vast Mongolian steppes, where the climate crisis and desertification are rapidly progressing.

The Busan Mother Green Movement Headquarters (BMGM, President Dongsoon Park) announced on June 11 that it had carried out the "BMGM Pureun Mongolia Tree Planting Project" at Eco International Park in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on June 10.

More than 20 participants, including BMGM President Dongsoon Park (Chairman of the Dongseo Academy Foundation), board members, and executive committee members, took part in the project. Taking into account the local environment, which is experiencing ongoing desertification, participants personally planted 40 spruce trees known for their resilience.

As climate change and desertification intensify, Mongolia is responding at the national level. Expanding green spaces has become a critical task, with the sitting president personally spearheading the "Billion Tree Planting Campaign."

This tree planting effort goes beyond a simple overseas volunteer activity. It is an environmental project that has been prepared over a long period in order to help prevent desertification and participate in the practice of carbon neutrality. Through tree planting, BMGM hopes to contribute to the restoration of the local ecosystem and raise awareness of the importance of responding to the climate crisis.

President Dongsoon Park stated, "Each and every tree planted in Mongolia is a small act for our planet, which is facing difficulties due to climate change," and added, "I hope that more attention and participation will be devoted to environmental conservation and the practice of carbon neutrality for future generations."

Founded in 2010, BMGM has continued its mission to "pass on clean water, fresh air, and a green Earth to the next generation." The organization has carried out a variety of activities, including river restoration, energy conservation, food waste reduction campaigns, and environmental education, and has received honors such as the Presidential Citation and the Korea Environment Grand Prize.

As environmental practices that began locally have now reached the Mongolian grasslands, private-sector solidarity in responding to the climate crisis is also gradually expanding beyond borders.
