Capacity building has always been a major part of any research and conservation projects in Mongolia. As the country develops its economy there is more and growing need for better and skilled profesionals in the field of natural science, in particularly wetland, hydrology and natural resource managements. Our capacity building program has partnered with several top universities in Mongolia, universities in USA, UK, Germany, China, Russia, and Sweden, and organizations such as the International Crane Foundation, US Forest Service, UN NEASPEC, WWF Mongolia, and Wetlands International.
