  • Report of the Portfolio Monitoring Mission in Mongolia
    AFB/B.28/5 3 October 2016 Adaptation Fund Board Twenty-eighth Meeting Bonn, Germany, 6-7 October 2016 Agenda item 9 REPORT OF THE PORTFOLIO MONITORING MISSION IN MONGOLIA AFB/B.28/5 INTRODUCTION Context and scope of the mission 1. As part of the Knowledge Management (KM) Strategy and the secretariat’s work plan for FY16 which was approved by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board) at its twenty-fifth meeting (Decision B.25/19), the Adaptation Fund Board secretariat (the secretariat) conducts missions to projects/programmes under implementation to collect and analyze lessons learned through its portfolio. So far, such missions have been conducted in Ecuador, Senegal, Honduras, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Argentina and Uruguay. This report covers the FY16 portfolio monitoring mission that took place in June 2016 in the project “Ecosystem Based Adaptation Approach to Maintaining Water Security in Critical Water Catchments in Mongolia” implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). 2. The mission targeted this project for the following reasons: a) it enables to explore implications of the Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EBA) approach, including its efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability; b) it may allow drawing lessons from the valuation of ecosystem services; c) it may allow taking stock of the arrangements for monitoring and evaluation, and the value of mid-term review in adjusting progress towards results. Methodology 3. The secretariat was represented by a senior climate change specialist and a junior professional associate. An Adaptation Fund Board alternate member was also part of the delegation. The mission was carried out from 12 to 18 June, and included field visits to project sites.

Biodiversity Data Journal 7: e34211. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.7.e34211 Abstract Background David's myotis, Myotis davidii, is a vespertilionid bat inhabiting the wide spaces of the Palearctic region. Although previously registered in the north of Mongolia (50° N.L.) and the southern Urals (52° N.L.), data on the ecology of the species on the northern periphery of the range was missing. New information The northern border area of M. davidii in Siberia shifts by 350 km and the area increases by about 150,000 km2 , in the Ural area by 150 km. Pups in the north of the range appear from the second half of June to July inclusive. Our data reveal that individuals from the Urals and the North Caucasus are genetically similar. © Zhigalin A.

  • New Perspectives on Medicinal Properties and Uses of Iris Sp
    Hop and Medicinal Plants, Year XXIV, No. 1-2, 2016 ISSN 2360 – 0179 print, ISSN 2360 – 0187 electronic NEW PERSPECTIVES ON MEDICINAL PROPERTIES AND USES OF IRIS SP. CRIŞAN Ioana, Maria CANTOR* Faculty of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Manastur Street 3-5, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania *corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Rhizomes from various Iris species have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments since ancient times and many constituents isolated from different Iris species demonstrated potent biological activities in recent studies. All research findings besides the increasing demand for natural ingredients in cosmetics and market demand from industries like alcoholic beverages, cuisine and perfumery indicate a promising future for cultivation of irises for rhizomes, various extracts but most importantly for high quality orris butter. Romania is situated in a transitional continental climate with suitable conditions for hardy iris species and thus with good prospects for successful cultivation of Iris germanica, Iris florentina and Iris pallida in conditions of economic efficiency. Key words: Iris, medicinal plant, orris butter, rhizomes Introduction The common word “iris” that gave the name of the genus, originates from Greek designating “rainbow” presumably due to the wide variety of colors that these flowers can have (Cumo, 2013). The genus reunites about 300 species (Wang et al., 2010) with rhizomes or bulbs (Cantor, 2016). In Romanian wild flora can be met both naturalized and native species, some enjoying special protection, like Iris aphylla ssp. hungarica (Marinescu and Alexiu, 2013) that can be seen on the hills nearby Cluj-Napoca (Fig.

  • Mongolia the Private Collection
    Big Five Presents Mongolia The Private Collection Ancient monasteries, the haunting natural beauty of the Gobi Desert, wild horses and intriguing cultures - Mongolia offers extraordinary opportunities to see and experience the living history that is Mongolia. In our own rapid-fire, always changing world, Mongolia is one of those increasingly rare places that seems to belong to another time; somewhere far off on the edges of what we know. It calls up images of nomadic tribesmen on the wind-swept Mongolian steppes, the Silk Road stations in the Gobi Desert and herds of rugged wild horses. Beneath such simplistic images, however, are a legendary past and people that once dominated the world stage in the 13th and 14th centuries. At its peak, the Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous land empire in human history! It reached across central Asia to encompass lands from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan and south into India. By the 17th century, Tibetan Buddhism became the dominant religion in Mongolia, replacing, for the most part, indigenous shaman practices. In the Mongolia of today, modernity is beginning to remodel the country as high-rise buildings crop up next to 18th-century monasteries. By the same token, Mongolians respect their history, traditions and the deep roots put down by their ancestors. Around the country, reconstruction and preservation projects are underway to preserve that history. Priceless artifacts that were so long hidden away for safekeeping are now being returned to monasteries. And it is still possible to set out on a journey that encounters nomadic clans, exquisite landscapes and unique wildlife.
