* On 19 November TCF donated seven motorcycles to the rangers of seven districts of Eg Uur watershed area. It is hoped that this activity will help to enhance the law enforcement mechanism in the area, where rangers lack the basic means of transportation. Motorcycles will be used by rangers in the remote area in the north-western provinces of Mongolia.
