Saxaul trees to regenerate the Mongolian Steppe
Nomadic herders in Mongolia preserve an ancient way of life and also revive the land beneath their feet.
Life starts in the earth. Soil hosts a quarter of the world's biodiversity and is crucial for both carbon capture and the livelihoods of local communities. Every effort to protect and restore life beneath our feet is crucial.
In Mongolia, the people closest to the land care for it through rotational grazing which regenerates roots and unlocks the power of healthy soils to sequester carbon, rebuild fertility and drive the revival of the vast Mongolian Steppe. Their initiatives don't stop there, thanks to the planting of Saxaul trees, deep root systems anchor shifting sands, prevent erosion, and help the soil hold precious moisture.
In Mongolia’s arid regions, planting Saxaul forests restores degraded land, supports native plants and animals, and slows desertification. By reviving these hardy trees, communities can bring life back to the soil and resilience back to the Steppe.
