The Clean Environment's Mission Statement: We are a grass-roots NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) dedicated to the reforestation of Mongolia and the preservation of traditional Mongolian nomadic culture. We offer a chance for individuals (like you) to travel to Mongolia and participate in tree planting and or experience authentic culture by volunteering with ethnic Mongolian nomadic families. We are not a travel agency or tour company, we are fully a Mongolian-owned and operated NGO with a genuine interest in helping people and the environment. This is a great opportunity to experience Mongolia in a very authentic cultural setting while ensuring that 100% of your contributions and efforts are going toward helping a great cause.
