Planting is easy, but taking care and maintaining is the most important

The President of Mongolia Ts. Elbegdorj participated in the event ‘Green city 2012’ which took place in Builder’s Square. The event was organized by the initiative of the Office of the President, Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism, Mayor’s Administration of Ulaanbaatar city in order to protect nature, environment, to educate and encourage the public in planting and care of trees.

 In the frame of the event the President visited exhibition of tree, bush and flower seed. More than 40 companies participated in the one month exhibition and introduced their best products.

The President asked from salesmen questions ‘How does it cost? Which of your product gives profit? Is it possible to make profit without importing seeds? Do you teaching others to plant trees and care of?’ and wished them luck.

The President also stated ‘Mongolians going to mark tree planting day, tomorrow. During this annual event we plant trees and build green establishment. Planting trees is the easy part but consistently taking care and maintaining is the most important part. We were at the exhibition in Builder’s Square. This kind of exhibition was organized in every district. I wish that administrations of local provinces and soums will enjoy the event and start planting trees. I wish that every soum would have green establishment and have who taking care of it.

The Parliament is now discussing 10 law packages on nature and environment. Such a big number of environment laws haven’t discussed, recent years. Consequently, Mongolia is making a big step to this direction. All the regulations cannot be controlled by law, but we are able to effectively protect our nature and environment. This is the good news for all Mongolians ’.
