About the book: Since 1990, Mongolia has seen a massive increase in the number of groups working in the environmental sector. There are groups helping to reduce pollution, address deforestation, bring in eco-tourism, save species and achieve many other things.
However surprisingly few of them have established direct relationships with one of the most historical sizeable, and influential sectors of Mongolian society: the Buddhist sangha. This Handbook is an attempt to address this. It is the first comprehensive guide to approaching and working with Buddhist communities in Mongolia, and it explains why this is an area of action and outreach which could, and should, be explored by environmental groups from both within and outside Mongolia. It has been created in English and Mongolian by a team from the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) in partnership with the World Bank, Gandan Tegchenling Monastery, the Centre of Mongolian Buddhist and the Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism and funded by Netherlands-The World Bank's Mongolia Trust Fund on Environmental Reform II (NEMO2).
Who will benefit from this Handbook: This book is intended primarily for readers from secular environment groups, as well as from Buddhist monasteries and organizations, and appropriate government and non-government organizations from within and outside the country. It is designed to inspire all readers to establish deeper partnerships with each other, so as to ensure the protection of Mongolia's natural environment now, and in the future.
