Boreal

Reviving the Landscape of Northern Mongolia.

Boreal

The Boreal project in Mongolia shows what is possible with a dedicated and capable on-the-ground team. Its vision, scale, and commitment to positive impact represent the kind of initiative that KIRAR is proud to support.

Situated in the boreal taiga of northern Mongolia, the first PDD is the BCF Project Gamma 1. Over its 40-year lifespan, the project will restore 30,000 hectares of degraded forest with approximately 45 million native trees, including Siberian pine, Scots pine, larch, and birch. The initiative is not only reversing forest loss but also reinforcing one of the world's most vital carbon sinks, as boreal forests cover 17% of the Earth's land mass and store 20–30% of global forest carbon. By applying international best practices for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV), the project will generate over 3 million robust and traceable carbon credits.

BCF Project Gamma I (1st of 25):

• Restores 30k ha of degraded forest

• Plants 45 mln native trees

• Generates over 3 mln credits

Boreal forest impact

The project's impact extends well beyond carbon capture. It restores ecosystems crucial for biodiversity, supporting endangered species such as the Mongolian moose and sable, while playing an essential role in the regional water cycle, particularly during snowmelt. Local communities benefit through direct and indirect employment, paid forestry internships, educational opportunities, and revenue-sharing from carbon credits. In this way, Project Gamma 1 weaves together ecological restoration, climate resilience, and socioeconomic development, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of environmental, economic, and community well-being.
