RADIO PROGRAMME TO PROMOTE PUBLIC AWARENESS
Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/ "In our everyday project work with the public, local communities and policy-makers we strive to increase awareness, which leads to a knowledge base, change in attitudes, development of skills, and finally to a solid practice. In combating desertification and land degradation, the public awareness is the first crucial step to change people’s attitudes and practice of pasture and land use", the UNDP Mongolia Country Office said.
UNDP’s “Sustainable Land Management for Combating Desertification” Project together with the National Radio, launched a programme “Livestock Husbandry Tomorrow” aimed at educating the general public and herding communities on causes and effects, and methods to combat desertification and land degradation that pose a serious threat to Mongolia's economy and undermining our livelihoods, especially those of herders, and promoting sustainable pasture/land management practices. The radio programme will be aired every Wednesday at 7.30 p.m., the peak time for radio listeners in rural Mongolia, according to the Mongolian Radio survey.
In 2010, the radio programme will concentrate on community-based natural resources management as a main strategy to cope with effects of climate change, disaster risk management, pasture management and livestock husbandry in drylands, among other topics. The programme will provide listeners with insights from leading sector experts, grassroots activists, experienced herders and community leaders. The programme will be broadcasted nationwide throughout 3 years (2010-2012).
