Answer to your letter No 2001-88

The Ministry of Nature and Environment is pleased to learn about the Garbage Control project in Hovsgol National Park. This project is an excellent approach to solving garbage control issues in National Parks.

It is a great honor and opportunity for me to support such an environmentally significant project. In the name of our Ministry and the Hovsgol National Park administration I offer you our full support and assistance. We agree that in order to achieve the best possible results the Protected Areas Administration Office should work closely with you on regulation terms and conditions.

I believe that this project provides the best possible example to everybody who is working in garbage control in other National Parks. Our Ministry will therefore share information on this project with all other National Parks and request that they carry out litter control projects in the same way that you have for Hovsgol National Park. We will try to advertise these projects through TV and newspapers so that they become widely known.

Yours faithfully,

U. Barsbold
Minister
