For generations, Mongolian herders have moved with the seasons, managed pastures sustainably, and lived in harmony with nature. This body of traditional knowledge, developed over centuries, has not only supported pastoral livelihoods but also played a vital role in maintaining ecological balance, conserving biodiversity, and safeguarding Mongolia’s natural resources. 

The new publication, Mongolian Pastoralism: Nature-Friendly Traditional Knowledge, presents these traditions, practices, and experiences through the interconnected relationship between herders, livestock, and pastures. 

By documenting this nature-friendly traditional knowledge, the publication contributes to its revitalization and wider dissemination, while recognizing and valuing the influence of herders who are its custodians. It also encourages greater integration of traditional knowledge into policy and planning processes, helping strengthen its application in practice and contributing to a more sustainable future where people and nature thrive together.
