National Tree Planting Day is observed in Mongolia on the second Saturday in May and October. The holiday was established in 2010 when the President of Mongolia signed a decree proclaiming the event. On this day, the President, Prime Minister, and other top officials participate in tree planting activities across various locations in Mongolia. Citizens are also encouraged to plant trees to aid in the restoration of forests. However, the survival rate of planted saplings is a concern, with only about 65% surviving. The day emphasizes not just planting trees but also the importance of caring for them to improve the environmental situation in the country.
