 WCS ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND


The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a US non-profit, tax-exempt, private organization established in 1895 that saves wildlife and wild places by understanding critical issues, crafting science-based solutions, and taking conservation actions that benefit nature and humanity. 

With more than a century of experience, long-term commitments in dozens of landscapes, presence in more than 60 nations, and experience helping to establish over 150 protected areas across the globe, WCS has amassed the biological knowledge, cultural understanding, and partnerships to ensure that vibrant, wild places and wildlife thrive alongside local communities. 

Working with local communities and organizations, that knowledge is applied to address species, habitat, and ecosystem management issues critical to improving the quality of life of vulnerable rural people whose livelihoods depend on the direct use of natural resources.


 WCS MONGOLIA PROGRAM OVERVIEW


Established in Ulaanbaatar in 2003, WCS Mongolia has dedicated over two decades to the conservation of Mongolia&amp;rsquo;s rich wildlife and expansive landscapes. The organization focuses on science-driven, landscape-level conservation, with key efforts in the Southern Gobi and Eastern Steppe, alongside initiatives in Central Mongolia. 

At the national level, WCS Mongolia collaborates with government, community groups, civil society organizations, and the private sector to promote biodiversity preservation, landscape connectivity, and sustainable natural resource management. In 2024, WCS Mongolia launched a five-year strategy focused on three key pillars: enhancing ecological function, strengthening landscape connectivity, and building resilience to climate change. These pillars guide the organization&amp;rsquo;s work, with the overarching vision of ensuring Mongolia&amp;rsquo;s ecological integrity for future generations.


 PROJECT BACKGROUND


Project title:&amp;nbsp;Rehabilitating and conserving the mountain landscapes in the Khangai region of Mongolia for improved ecosystem services and community livelihoods

Implementation Agency:&amp;nbsp;The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)&amp;nbsp;

Execution Agency:&amp;nbsp;WCS Mongolia/Operational Partner

Government partner:&amp;nbsp;the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC)

The GEF-funded project &amp;quot;Rehabilitating and conserving the mountain landscapes in the Khangai region of Mongolia for improved ecosystem services and community livelihoods&amp;quot; is implemented by the UN-Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and executed by WCS Mongolia as the Operational Partner, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) and other relevant government agencies. WCS Mongolia is responsible for the day-to-day management and technical implementation of the project, ensuring compliance with GEF and FAO fiduciary, technical, environmental, and social standards,&amp;nbsp;as well as WCS&amp;rsquo;s internal operational procedures and policies.

The project aims to restore the ecological integrity of the Khangai mountain landscapes, enhance ecosystem services such as water and soil health, and strengthen community resilience through sustainable land management and climate adaptation. It also seeks to improve rural livelihoods while conserving biodiversity. More information can be found here.&amp;nbsp; 

In its role as the project&amp;rsquo;s Operational Partner, WCS Mongolia commissions consultancies and service providers&amp;nbsp;to deliver specialized expertise, support technical implementation, and ensure that project outputs meet GEF, FAO, and WCS quality standards.


 JUSTIFICATION


Effective integrated land management, ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation require coordinated and reliable spatial and environmental data across the land, water and forest sectors. However, existing information systems and data managed by the General Authority for Land Administration, Geodesy and Cartography, Water Agency and Forest Agency are not harmonized, use different data boundaries and have limited interoperability. While the Water agency has established the national water information system through www.ewater.mn, data coordination and consistency challenges remain, and the Forest agency currently lacks a comprehensive digital information system.

These gaps limit cross-sectoral planning, restoration monitoring and evidence-based decision-making at national, aimag and soum levels. Therefore, the assignment aims to strengthen data access, sharing, harmonization and coordination among the land, water and forest sectors through improved interoperability, common geospatial standards and integrated environmental information management.


 OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT


The overall objective under Component 1 of the project is to strengthen data access, sharing, coordination, and interoperability among the land, water, and forest sectors in support of integrated land management planning,ecosystem restoration monitoring, and evidence-based decision-making. 

The Specific Objectives are:


 To establish an interoperable data exchange mechanism between the State Integrated Water Information System (ewater) and the Integrated Digital Land Administration System (egazar), enabling real-time and periodic sharing and synchronization of water and land-related datasets.
 To establish and operationalize a shared database within the Geoportal platform for the Forest Agency, enabling storage, management, visualization, and access to forest-related information and datasets.
 To strengthen coordination and information sharing among the General Authority for Land Administration, Geodesy and Cartography, the Water Agency, and the Forest Agency through integration of relevant datasets and public access mechanisms via the Geoportal platform, ensuring that forest areas and water protection zones are protected, and excluded from future land allocation, thereby supporting biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management.
