Forestry Training in Mongolia – National Forest Inventory as an Example for International Cooperation

In early June 2017 HSF conducted the 2nd Training in Mongolia for foresters from DPR Korea as part of HSF’s EU-funded project on sustainable reforestation in DPRK. The purpose of this training was to share Mongolian experiences in reforestation with representatives of the forestry sector in DPR Korea.

Model projects in Mongolia are of special interest for the Korean foresters, since their geographic locations and climate conditions are comparable to the DPRK. Important topics on the agenda were practical exercises for forest inventory and management, as well as visits to tree nurseries and model reforestation sites. The training was accompanied by a theoretical workshop on National Forest Inventory (NFI), conducted in cooperation with the German Development Agency (GIZ).

Aside from gaining practical experience, the training sessions offered a platform for exchange and opened new perspectives for cooperation with international and regional institutions and expanded existing networks, for example with representatives of the Asia Foundation and the Forest Resource Development Center (FRDC) in Mongolia, as well as various other scientific institutes, such as the National University of Mongolia or the Wildlife Science and Conservation Centre.
