Korean Air contributes to preventing desertification in Mongolia. Korean Air has been taking the lead in saving the Earth by volunteering for 14 consecutive years to plant trees in Mongolia. From May 15th to 26th, more than 200 Korean Air employees will be cooperating with 600 local residents to plant trees in Mongolia. This activity is part of Korean Air's 'Global Planting Project' which aims to prevent desertification of the city and save the environment. What was once a deserted area now has more than 110,000 trees planted and has been renamed 'Korean Air Forest'. The forest is located in Baganuur city, 150 kilometers east off the capital city Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia Global Planting Project 'Korean Air Forest' covers an area of 440,000 square meters and consists mainly of poplar trees, sea buckthorn and Siberian elms. Thus planting trees not only makes the city greener but also contributes to increasing the incomes of local residents. The Korean air focuses on maintaining the forest well and has hired a local professional to look after it and to train local residents in supervision. Moreover, Korean Air has been donating educational materials such as computers, desks and chairs to local schools which participate with the airline in the tree planting activity. Thanks to Korean Air's continuous effort, residents' determination to save the environment has grown tremendously and they have become ardent supporters of the annual planting activity.
