The GIZ SPACES KAP survey in 2021 was part of the formative research for the EECS and the “My Green Mongolia” campaign: It revealed that large sections of protected area (PA) visitors as well as many PA staff lack knowledge about the correlation between sustainable development and environmental protection, biodiversity conservation and climate change. Mass media pay limited attention to environmental and climate-related issues. Aside from the final report, a PowerPoint presentation and a journalistic article of the survey’s major results was published.
Other organizations’ KAP surveys confirm this trend – see for example the ones by UNDP on “Leveraging Behavioural Nudges to Improve Waste Collection” in 2019 at the Gorkhi-Terelj National Park and “Ensuring Sustainability and Resilience of Green Landscapes” , also in 2019, or the one of WWF with bufferzone residents of the Khar Yamaat Nature Reserve Area in 2016.
