  • Wildlife Protection in Mongolia by R
    196 Oryx Wildlife Protection in Mongolia By R. A. Hibbert CMG Although the Mongolian People's Republic, last refuge of the Przewalski wild horse, is one of the most thinly populated countries in the world, the wildlife decreased considerably in the 30's and 40's. There has been some improvement in recent years, and the Game Law now gives protection to nearly all mammals—the few exceptions include the wolf, understandably in a country with vast herds of domestic animals. Mr. Hibbert, who was British Charge d'Affaires at Ulan Bator from 1964 to 1966, and has since spent a year at Leeds University working on Mongolian materials, assesses the status of the major species of mammals, birds and fish, and describes the game laws. HE Mongolian People's Republic is a huge country with a very T small population. Its area is just over H million square kilometres, its population just over 1,100,000. This gives an average population density of 0-7 per square kilometre or allowing for the concentration of nearly a quarter of the population in the capital at Ulan Bator, a density in rural areas of 0-5 per square kilometre. This seems to be a record low density for a sovereign state. The density of domestic animals—sheep, goats, cows and yaks, horses, camels—is much higher. There are some 24 million domestic animals in the herds, which gives an average density of 15 per square kilometre. Even so, the figures suggest that there is still plenty of room for wild life.

  • Tea Practices in Mongolia a Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings
    Gaby Bamana University of Wales Tea Practices in Mongolia A Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings This article provides a description and analysis of tea practices in Mongolia that disclose features of female power and gendered meanings relevant in social and cultural processes. I suggest that women’s gendered experiences generate a differentiated power that they engage in social actions. Moreover, in tea practices women invoke meanings that are also differentiated by their gendered experience and the powerful position of meaning construction. Female power, female identity, and gendered meanings are distinctive in the complex whole of cultural and social processes in Mongolia. This article con- tributes to the understudied field of tea practices in a country that does not grow tea, yet whose inhabitants have turned this commodity into an icon of social and cultural processes in everyday life. keywords: female power—gendered meanings—tea practices—Mongolia— female identity Asian Ethnology Volume 74, Number 1 • 2015, 193–214 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture t the time this research was conducted, salty milk tea (süütei tsai; сүүтэй A цай) consumption was part of everyday life in Mongolia.1 Tea was an ordi- nary beverage whose most popular cultural relevance appeared to be the expres- sion of hospitality to guests and visitors. In this article, I endeavor to go beyond this commonplace knowledge and offer a careful observation and analysis of social practices—that I identify as tea practices—which use tea as a dominant symbol. In tea practices, people (women in most cases) construct and/or reappropri- ate the meaning of their gendered identity in social networks of power.

  • Mongolia: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report
    Mongolia: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report The Asian Development Bank has been supporting efforts to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries. A major focus of these efforts is improving the transport and trade sectors to spur economic growth and promote social and political cohesion within the region. Improving the efficiency of the CAREC transport corridors will allow these landlocked countries to take full advantage of being transit countries between the surging and dynamic economies of the East and the West. This report, one of a series of nine reports, highlights the substantial challenges that Mongolia needs to overcome and recommends measures to make its transport and trade Mongolia sectors more efficient and cost-competitive. Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development About the Asian Development Bank Strategy Report ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.
