Nearly 90% of pastureland has been affected by desertification to some degree, with vegetation growth rate shrinking by a factor of 5. Vast pasture resources, harsh climate, and low population have favored the raising of livestock.Ĭurrently 77.8% of Mongolia has been turned to desert, with the Gobi desert in the south creeping rapidly northward. Almost 80% of Mongolia’s population is engaged in agriculture, either the production of crops or the raising of livestock. Mongolia is sometimes referred to as Outer Mongolia, to distinguish it from Inner Mongolia, a province of China. Mongolia is a sovereign nation about twice the size of Texas, situated south of Russia and north of China. Information on Planting Trees in Mongolia
