dc.description.abstractThe report aims to develop policy options to make the pastures of Mongolia sustainable in the long term, and to slow down the process of desertification, which has thus far affected 72% of Mongolia. The net effect of over 40 million livestock owned by approximately 200,000 herding families in a vast, fenceless landscape is tremendous. This study assesses the degradation and the economic value of livestock (particularly goats) that are causing much of the damage. Although the main cause of land degradation is due to climate change, over-grazing and livestock populations are also contributing factors.en
