FINAL REPORT

12. Summary of Field Research and Sample Analysis (S. Bayarkhuu, D. Battsetseg,
and B.Tsevelmaa)
1. The current conditions of animal husbandry-farming in the vicinity of Buyant River
were assessed.
2. Inventories and studies on flora species in the vicinity of Buyant River were
conducted.
3. Inventories and studies on fauna species in the vicinity of Buyant River were
conducted.
4. It was identified that rehabilitation of reservoir in Janjin Boolt area and proper use of
Buyant River would play important roles in keeping the habitats and ranges of
biodiversity in the region without deterioration and establishment of agro-bioceonosis,
one of favourable habitats and ranges. “Fruits” Cooperative and “Otson Chuluu” agroceonosis
can be mentioned here as good examples.
5. It is necessary to restore and re-use the reservoir for the improvement of livelihoods of
local communities through their participation focusing on the sustainable use and
protection of natural resources. Local residents in the vicinity of Buyant River as well
as researchers and scientists have had considerable experiences in cultivating of
vegetables including sorts of some plants endemic to the area on pilot basis, seven
sorts of potatoes, and some kinds of fruits and berries. Therefore such experiences and
practices should be restored. Establishment of agro-biocoenosis that contributes to
positive effects on the vegetation will be essential for making theclimate milder.
6. It is necessary to conduct observations and researches on changes to the vegetation
and soil mezo-fauna species in the vicinity of Janjin Boolt area through the
establishment of special monitoring plots and to use the research results and findings
for the proper use of reservoir in the area.
