  • (LAMP): Ways and Benefits of CSO Involvement in GAFSP Mongolia Project I
    The Livestock and Agricultural Marketing Project (LAMP): Ways and Benefits of CSO Involvement in GAFSP Mongolia Project I. Introduction Mongolia, a vast country of 1.56 million square kilometers, is home to 15 times more livestock than people. It has over 2.7 million human population and 43 million livestock as of 2010. The transformation of Mongolia after the collapse of the Soviet Union from collective socialism to a market economy disrupted urban and rural livelihoods, ultimately leading to increased urban poverty and food insecurity. In the last decade, while the government’s agricultural and rural development program has met with some success, the poverty level has persisted above 30%. The agriculture sector, which accounted for 15% of Mongolia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2010 and provides livelihood to about 40% of the population, promises to be the avenue for addressing poverty. The livestock-based industry contributes to around 10% of all export revenues. But Mongolia has been unable to take advantage of its exportation of meat and other by-products due to several constraints. On average, the export price for Mongolian meat is three to four times lower than the price commanded by Australian meat exports. The domestic market, with the expansion of more formal retailing outlets 2 LAMP: Ways and Benefits of CSO Involvement in GAFSP Mongolia Project | March 2018 such as supermarkets, offers another opportunity for growth for the livestock industry. Clearly, there is a need to strengthen linkages between producers and markets, and that is the goal of the Livestock and Agricultural Marketing Project (LAMP).

  • Thesis Local Understanding of Hydro-Climate Changes
    THESIS LOCAL UNDERSTANDING OF HYDRO-CLIMATE CHANGES IN MONGOLIA Submitted by Tumenjargal Sukh Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2012 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Steven Fassnacht Melinda Laituri Maria Fernandez-Gimenez Greg Butters Copyright by Tumenjargal Sukh 2012 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT LOCAL UNDERSTANDING OF HYDRO-CLIMATE CHANGES IN MONGOLIA Air temperatures have increased more in semi-arid regions than in many other parts of the world. Mongolia has an arid/semi-arid climate where much of the population is dependent upon the limited water resources, especially herders. This paper combines herder observations of changes in water availability in streams and from groundwater with an analysis of climatic and hydrologic change from station data to illustrate the degree of change of Mongolian water resources. We find that herders’ local knowledge of hydro-climatic changes is similar to the station based analysis. However, station data are spatially limited, so local knowledge can provide finer scale information on climate and hydrology. We focus on two regions in central Mongolia: the Jinst soum in Bayankhongor aimag in the desert steppe region and the Ikh-Tamir soum in Arkhangai aimag in the mountain steppe. As the temperatures have increased significantly (more in Ikh-Tamir than Jinst), precipitation amounts have decreased in Ikh-Tamir which corresponds to a decrease in streamflow, in particular, the average annual streamflow and the annual peak discharge. At Erdenemandal (Ikh-Tamir) the number of days with precipitation has decreased while at Horiult (Jinst) it has increased.

SHAVERDO, A.E.Z. SHORT & E. DAVAADORJ Abstract Sixty-four species of the water beetle family Dytiscidae were collected from 84 localities in the north- central part of Mongolia, in the basin of the Selenge River, during 2003–2006. Twenty species and one subspecies of Dytiscidae are recorded from Mongolia for the first time. According to the present study and literature data, 87 species of Dytiscidae are currently known from Mongolia. Key words: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, faunistics, Mongolia. Introduction The dytiscid fauna of Mongolia is relatively well known due to the works of BELLSTEDT (1985), BRANCUCCI (1982), BRINCK (1943), GUÉORGUIEV (1965, 1968, 1969, 1972), and more recent Dr. Hildegard studies (FERY 2003, SHAVERDO 2004, SHAVERDO & FERY 2001). WINKLER Nonetheless, new faunistic data and new species of Dytiscidae were obtained recently through the “Selenge River Basin Expeditions, 2003–2006” (FERY & PETROV 2006, SHAVERDO & FERY Fachgeschäft und 2006). Buchhandlung The aim of this paper is to report the faunistic results of the Dytiscidae collected during the “Selenge River Basin Expeditions, 2003–2006”, and to present a checklist of the Mongolian für Entomologie dytiscids known so far. A similar checklist for the Hydrophilidae has been published by SHORT & KANDA (2006).

It heavily affects vegetation and often leads to desertification. It also extends vehicle operating distance and time, resulting high transport cost. 2) Road Condition in Winter Multiple shifting tracks are covered with snow in winter and become slippery due to uneven surface together with compacted snow. Vehicular movement becomes risky and travel speed is forced to decrease considerably. 3) Existing Wooden Bridge Existing wooden bridge is severely deteriorated and danger always exists for heavy vehicles to go across. This is serious cause of disruption for traffic to cross the river. Heavy vehicles go across the river only when the flow is shallow.

The mineral deposit and occurrence data are being compiled as part of a project on the Mineral Resources, Metallogenesis, and Tectonics of Northeast Asia (Eastern and Southern Siberia, Mongolia, Northeast China, South Korea, and Japan). For additional information on the project, please refer to the companion project summary by Nokleberg (this volume).
