Green Gold - Mongolian Rangeland Research Center

Areas of Activity

Since 2004 up to 2020, we have worked under the Swiss Development Agency’s Green Gold Project in the following areas: pastureland management, supporting herders’ livelihoods, improving the value chain, increasing productivity per animal, introducing new pasture technologies, establishing and developing a national-level pasture monitoring network, providing training, and introducing the Good Practice Standard for Responsible Pastoralism.

Standards

We are working with the goal of reducing pasture degradation to a certain extent by increasing herders’ incomes and improving the value chain through the Responsible Nomadic Pastoral Livestock Good Practice Standard.

Sustainability Standard

According to the Law on the Legal Status of Primary Herder Household Associations, herders organize themselves into Primary Herder Household Associations and, by entering into long-term pasture-use agreements with the soum governor, ensure the proper functioning of the pasture ecosystem and the sustainability of biodiversity while preserving the traditional nomadic livestock husbandry system.

Ongoing projects

In recent years, more than 10 projects have been implemented to reduce pasture degradation, and the Responsible Nomadic Pastoral Livestock Good Practice Standard has been fully introduced to 7,000 herder households in 15 soums, and introduced to 10,000 herder households in 10 soums.

About us

We will build a future where, through healthy pastures and sustainable, responsible livestock husbandry, Mongolia and the world contribute to ecological balance, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.
