Unearmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged. Mr. Ganbaatar’s family was entitled to food and non-food assistance from the DREF cold waves operation in March 2010 because the family has lost all the animals that belonged to them as well as those they were herding for a wage. In addition, the family has more than 3 children under 16 and mother is breastfeeding. During IFRC visit in April, it was reported that their food reserve will be enough until mid May and after that, the family will have no other solution to feed their children. Left without a single animal in the yard and having no alternative livelihood option, the parents were more than devastated about their children’s future but hide their emotions and worries to keep the family atmosphere warm and happy.

For tissue culture, root and cotyledon explants from seedlings were used. Sterilized explants with one node were used for micropropagation. Half-strength Murasige-Skuge medium and Gamborg‘s B5 medium with different supplements were used for the induction of calluses and multiple shoots. Conditions for tissue culture and micropropagation of G. uralensis were determined. Key words: callus, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, in vitro, micropropagation, Mongolia, nodal culture Introduction Materials and Methods Currently, there is much international interest Plant materials. Seed samples of G. uralensis were in increasing plant resources, plant productivity and provided by researchers from the Institute of Botany the ability to synthesize specific compounds, at the Mongolian Academy of Sciences.

  • Central Mongolia
    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 Central Mongolia Roll out of Ulaanbaatar in a Russian jeep and you’ll only need to put a hill or two between yourself and the city before the vast steppes of cental Mongolia begin to unfold before your eyes. Verdant swaths of empty landscapes are sprinkled with tiny gers stretching to CENTRAL MONGOLIA the horizon while magical light plays through clouds and across the valleys. But central Mongolia offers more than steppes. Landscapes are broken by the forested hillsides of the Khan Khentii range, meandering rivers such as the Tuul and lunar-like lava fields spilling across central Arkhangai. The silhouette of a lone horseman on a hill or camels caravanning in the distance completes every perfect day. The rivers and back trails of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park beckon the outdoor enthusiast. At Khustain National Park you can break out the binoculars and spot the reintroduced takhi horse. Alternatively, set out from Ulaanbaatar on foot, climb the holy Bogdkhan Uul to the south of the city, and camp out by Mandshir Khiid. Travelling by horse is another great way to get around the region. Travellers with more time on their hands can spend weeks exploring the ancient sites and remote areas of the mighty Khangai and its surrounding plains. Central Mongolia’s aimags (provinces), Töv, Arkhangai and Övörkhangai, are the most vis- ited areas in the countryside. The roads and transport are far better here than in the rest of Mongolia, and there is plenty to see, including ancient monasteries, gorgeous lakes and many national parks.

    MINISTRY OF NATURE, GLOBAL UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON MONGOLIAN NATURE ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENT DEVELOPMENT BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENT TOURISM FACILITY PROGRAMME IN DIVERSITY CONSORTIUM OF MONGOLIA MONGOLIA FOURTH NATIONAL REPORT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF CONVENTION OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY Ulaanbaatar, 2009 FOREWORD Protecting biodiversity, ensuring sustainable utilization of natural resources and limiting the loss of habitat in the face of global climate change and negative anthropogenic impacts is a critical challenge for Mongolia, which has an environment with a harsh continental climate and fragile ecosystems. Today, it is globally recognized that a sustainable development strategy should be harmonized with the environment and in that respect the international community is creating international conventions and agreements that deal with environmental issues. In 1993, Mongolia joined the International Convention on Biological Diversity which was ratified by UN assembly. Mongolia subsequently approved a National Action Plan (NAP) on Biodiversity Conservation in 1996. Within the NAP implementation, measures like improving legal frameworks, strengthening biodiversity conservation management, increasing research activities on flora and fauna and its extinction, minimizing negative impacts toward biodiversity, restricting utilization, promoting public participation in environmental protection activities and expanding cooperation with the international community were carried out. It is my great pleasure to present the Fourth National Report on the implementation of the UN Convention on Biodiversity Conservation, developed in collaboration with the Mongolian Nature and Environment Consortium. This national report was produced following the set of guidelines developed by the CBD Secretariat. Invaluable contributions from relevant line Ministries, non-government organisations and scientists and researchers from various professional and research institutions played a fundamental role in generating this report.
