Religious Organizations Join Mongolia’s “Billion Trees” National Movement in Tree-Planting Initiative

Representatives of major religious organizations operating in Mongolia came together for a tree-planting event as part of ongoing humanitarian efforts aimed at strengthening interfaith understanding and cooperation.

Building on last year’s initiative, when 50 Siberian larch trees were planted at the Japanese Military Memorial Complex, participants expanded their efforts this year by planting a total of 100 trees at the National Garden Park. The planting included 50 currant bushes and 50 honeysuckle bushes, contributing to the city’s green development.

Approximately 50 representatives took part in the initiative, including members of the Zuun Khuree Dashchoilin Monastery representing Mongolian Buddhism, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints representing Christianity, the Catholic Church, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Omoto Mongolia Center of the Japanese Shinto tradition, the Bahá’í Community of Mongolia, and the Brahma Kumaris Raja Yoga Education Center. The event fostered a spirit of mutual respect, cooperation, and shared purpose.

Organizers emphasized that the initiative not only supports environmental sustainability, but also serves as a meaningful example of people from diverse faith traditions coming together to make a positive contribution to society.

Unity brings peace; shared strength brings development.
