- Accounting for pastoralists in Mongolia
Because pastoralism is such an important part of Mongolia’s culture and economy, Mongolia has relatively good information about pastoralism, pastoralist and rangelands. The latest brief in LPP’s Accounting for Pastoralists series gives an overview of pastoralism in the country and the sources of data that are available. Download the full brief (6 pages) here: https://www.pastoralpeoples.org/documents/accounting-for-pastoralists-in-mongolia/
Other briefs in this series cover Afghanistan, Argentina, Germany, India, Iran, Kenya, Mozambique, Pakistan, Spain and Uganda. https://www.pastoralpeoples.org/thematic/accounting-for-pastoralists-studies/

The Hub's work focuses on sustainable rangeland and dryland management, climate resilience, and community-based stewardship in Mongolia. We combine UNCCD/WOCAT science-based SLM approaches with local herder knowledge, youth engagement, and gender-responsive participation. As part of the Drynet mentorship and CSO engagement around CRIC23, Green Mongolia Hub has been contributing to LDN advocacy, CSO governance, and community-to-policy dialogue for rangelands and pastoralists.
