The “KHOVD ECO PARK” project, aimed at improving the environment, promoting green development, and creating a healthier living environment for residents, has officially been launched in Khovd Province.

Based on cooperation between the public and private sectors, the project is set to create a new eco-friendly recreational and leisure environment for local residents while serving as a model initiative supporting Mongolia’s national “Billion Trees” movement initiated by the President of Mongolia.

Since 2022, “New Progress Group” LLC has been implementing phased afforestation and green development projects across the western region where it operates, making tangible contributions to environmental sustainability.

As part of these efforts:

  • In 2022, the company established a 2-hectare tree nursery equipped with an irrigation system in Jargalant soum of Khovd Province, launching a project to cultivate more than 500,000 trees.
  • Between 2023 and 2024, over 8,000 trees were planted around the “Khovd Eco Cement” plant in Buyant soum, creating a green industrial zone.
  • In 2025, a project to plant 12,000 trees with irrigation systems and protective fencing was implemented in the center of Jargalant soum.

As a continuation of these initiatives, the “KHOVD ECO PARK” project will be developed near Khukh Bulan, covering a total area of 100 hectares dedicated to afforestation, green zones, eco parks, and public recreational spaces.

Under the project, a total of 120,000 trees will be planted between 2026 and 2028:

  • 30,000 trees in 2026
  • 70,000 trees in 2027
  • 20,000 trees in 2028

The project also aims to establish forests and green belts using tree and shrub species adapted to the local ecological conditions, while creating windbreak and soil-protection zones. In addition, it seeks to gradually develop an eco-friendly environment that supports recreation, leisure, and healthy lifestyles for local residents.

One of the project’s key strengths is its foundation on public-private partnership and its strong emphasis on community participation. “New Progress Group” LLC has already cultivated a reserve of 420,000 trees over the past three years in its nursery, and the first batch of these trees is now ready to be transplanted into the “KHOVD ECO PARK” project.

Once implemented, the project is expected to:

  • Create a large-scale green zone in Khovd Province
  • Reduce dust pollution and wind impact
  • Expand public recreation and leisure spaces
  • Promote environmental education and eco-culture
  • Establish a sustainable green environment for future generations

As part of the initiative, a series of public engagement activities will be organized under the slogans:
“Let’s Build a Green Future Together” and “Let’s Create an Eco Park Together,” encouraging participation from local residents, organizations, and businesses.

The “KHOVD ECO PARK” project is a strategically significant development that is setting a new benchmark for green growth, social responsibility, and sustainable development in western Mongolia.
