Initiative “Donsati program” of technology and innovation for reforestation and utilisation of degraded forests in Mongolia

Abstract

In this study, we presented the results of a comprehensive technology and innovation program to rehabilitate degraded forests and put dead trees into economic circulation, and to study its scientific basis, feasibility, management, and methodological basis. The main factors contributing to Mongolia's forest degradation are forest fires, pest infestations, unsustainable logging, and tree aging. At “DONSATI program” initiative, we are proposing the development of technologies and innovations for the deep processing of dead trees by industrial methods and the production of new technological materials and products.
