Public education and awareness is essential to make environmental conservation activities more effective. Key players in this area are the training, awareness, information, and communcations officers at environmental organizations in the country. To date, these officers and specialists are supplied with the hardware such as photo or video cameras and drones that are useful for information sharing and public awareness. In this line, WWF-Mongolia organized a second-round training for Training and Public Awareness officers from Environmental Departments of four provinces and Protected Area and River Basin Administrations in Western Mongolia in May, 2025. It was a great opportunity for the participants to learn about new skills to use the hardware (video camera and drone) that are widely used for producing public awareness products.
