The project is being carried out since 2018 under the Intergovernmental Agreement between Mongolia and China.

Moreover, the project has goals to introduce and domesticate rehabilitation technologies adopted to different geographical conditions and to make restoration by planting perennial and leguminous plants and other naturalized sorts of plants.
