From 2004 to 2020, our team worked under the Green Gold - Animal Health Project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), focusing on the following areas: rangeland management, improving herder livelihoods, strengthening value chains, increasing livestock productivity, introducing innovative rangeland technologies, establishing a national rangeland monitoring network, advancing rangeland carbon management, providing training, and implementing best practice standards for sustainable rangeland use.
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.
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.
