Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Mongolia:
Facing climate change collectively
Herders
put their effort and manpower together. This sounds unusual for Mongolian nomads
who usually grow herds by family unit. Their wealth has been measured by the
size of their herd. However, recent changes in climate left them no choice but
to work collectively to manage valuable pastures since there aren’t any
regulations on pasture management. They now schedule gazing and rehabilitate
grasslands.
In
addition, instead of selling their produces individually negotiating with
middlemen, they now deal directly with the buyers as group to increase their
income. They seem to have more bargaining power and earn more financial income than
before.
Enjoy
reading the article and seeing photos of the lives of Mongolian nomads.
