Its ultimate goal is to develop an understanding of this land’s unique ecology while encouraging ecological tourism as part of Mongolia’s economic development plan. Working language: Mongolian Geographic scope: Mongolia Mongolian Association for Conservation of Nature and the Environment (MACNE) Central Post Office Box 1160 Ulaanbaatar-13 Mongolia Tel: +976 1 318000 Fax:+976 1 321426 E-mail: macne@magicnet.mn Profile: The main focus of the Mongolian Association for Conservation of Nature and the Environment is biodiversity conservation in Mongolia, particularly in the Hustain Nuruu National Park; biodiversity research; and the Przewalski Horse Re-introduction Project.

It is a financial and administrative mechanism that brings advantages to both donors and beneficiaries, and complements more conventional methods of funding. METF provides longer-term secure funding for environmental projects, which improves forward planning and facilitates activities such as biodiversity monitoring programmes, community conservation projects and the restoration of natural areas. The objective of METF is to provide long-term financial support for projects that further the aims of biodiversity conservation in Mongolia and the sustainable management of the land and its resources, ecosystems and wildlife. The Fund will complement foreign-funded activities, which have a limited time span. It will supplement government funding which is insufficient and at risk of being cut due to economic difficulties in Mongolia. Environmental funds provide an innovative means of supporting environmental conservation. They may take many different forms, but all share certain common features: The METF has two accounts: the capital for the METF is invested in an offshore account, managed by an asset manager of an experienced financial institution. The second account is in Mongolia and used for disbursement.
The METF is established as two parallel legal entities outside government: a non-profit foundation in the Netherlands, and a registered office, legally established as an NGO, in Mongolia. The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) advises the Board on the feasibility and environmental impact of projects proposed for funding and on ways to increase participation by local people in METF activities. The Board is also responsible for setting guidelines to evaluate these projects.
